The last thing that I had mentioned in the in-person video that I want to mention also in this video is please
0:06
Do not wear fur, hull, or leather. You have no idea who's gonna interview you
0:11
You have no idea if that person is not a big advocate against animal cruelty and here you are
0:17
Walking in on screen with a big fur coat or a leather jacket, whatever you're wearing. Please play it safe
0:24
I understand that people are not supposed to let their preference take over, but we're human
0:29
My name is Marinelle. I am a fashion stylist. Welcome or welcome back to my channel. On this platform
0:35
We're all about sharing fashion tips, fashion tricks and the focus of this video will be to share a few tips that I hope
0:42
Will help you while you're getting ready for a virtual interview. Now, I'm not sure when you're watching this
0:47
But this video has been recorded in 2020 and because of the lockdown, the pandemic, there are many businesses
0:54
The employees are still working from home Now because of that if they need someone to join their team, the interview will most likely happen virtually
1:02
Also, let's not forget that there are many many jobs that are not virtual only
1:08
But that are also virtual. For example, virtual administrative assistants There are virtual teacher, virtual tutor
1:17
Customer service. There are many many many remote agents that are doing customer service nowadays. Businesses are not afraid to hire
1:25
Someone outside of their city Luckily, I'm sorry Luckily because it gives an opportunity for everybody to work for certain businesses that they did not think they could work before
1:35
But an interview is an interview. It doesn't matter how it is performed. You still need to look good
1:40
You still need to be put together. You still need to dress up
1:45
You still need to be comfortable as well. And in this video
1:48
I would love to share a few tips that I hope Will help you achieve that. Some of the tips that I mentioned in the what to wear for in-person interview, they're still valid
1:58
They still apply. Therefore, I would love to mention them also in this video
2:03
I recommend you guys to pick your outfit ahead of time It will be one less thing to worry about, one less thing to stress about the day of the interview
2:12
I also recommend you guys to make sure that your outfit is clean, neat and pressed
2:17
Make sure that there are no stains, make sure that the outfit is wrinkle-free, make sure that you are groomed and dressed appropriately
2:24
Tip number three, pay attention to the colors that you are wearing and make sure that they are suitable for the industry that you want
2:31
To be a part of. I will definitely advise you guys to wear neutral colors or soft colors and not something that is bright or flashy
2:39
Just to keep it professional. Also, the focus should be on you, what you're saying. Your clothes should not be a distraction
2:45
Same thing for patterns. I definitely advise you guys to wear something that has less patterns or no patterns at all
2:52
Let's go back to the colors for a few seconds I will definitely advise you guys to wear blue, white, croco or grey. Blue, of course, not something that is
3:01
light blue or Flashy blue, something that is navy blue or just a regular blue. Please avoid wearing red, orange, a multicolorful outfit or
3:12
Yellow and pink, those two colors they don't really look good on camera Therefore go for neutral colors as I said earlier when it comes to the patterns
3:19
Let's just go to the patterns now. When it comes to the patterns, if you guys do choose to wear patterns
3:24
I really really really hope that you guys don't wear stripes, herringbone
3:28
I'm pretty sure you have no idea what I'm saying by herringbone and I would definitely put a picture on the screen when I'm
3:34
Talking or a link in the description below for you guys to check it out But yeah, avoid wearing stripes, herringbones and bird's eyes weave
3:43
Those three patterns they are not camera friendly at all. Matter of fact
3:48
They will distort on camera and it will be very very very hard
3:52
for the interviewer to focus on you on what you're saying. As I said earlier tip number three and tip number four
3:58
It is just for you to not be a distraction The interviewer should focus on you, what you're saying, your speech and your clothes should not distract him from that
4:07
Last thing that I had mentioned in the in-person video that I want to mention also in this video is please
4:13
Do not wear fur, hood or leather. You have no idea who's gonna interview you
4:19
You have no idea if that person is not a big advocate against animal cruelty and here you are
4:25
Walking in on screen with a big fur coat or a leather jacket, whatever you're wearing. Please play it safe
4:31
I understand that people are not supposed to let their preference take over but we're human
4:36
We want to be around people who Someone who share the same values as us, someone who share the same interests as us
4:43
Therefore if they see you walking in with a big fur coat and a big
4:47
Leather jacket it might not play in your favor It might not help you at all. Just play it safe and avoid wearing those things
4:55
You know what? I'm gonna share something else that I also shared in other videos. So I lied. It's not the last thing
5:00
Please do not wear anything that has a logo on it or that show that you're a part of whatever club
5:06
Because for the same thing as the fur, the hood and the leather You don't know who that person is and you might be wearing something that they don't like, something that they don't want to be
5:16
Associated with, something that they don't want, they wish that nobody in their business is a part of. As I said
5:22
they're not supposed to let their interests take over but No, don't just just avoid wearing them. It might not
5:29
Help you. Let's say just play it safe. Tip number nine dress as if you're going to an in-person interview
5:36
Don't feel like well, you know what I'm at home. So I'm gonna be more casual more relaxed
5:40
No, you need you still need to dress the part You still need to dress up dress as if you're going to the in-person interview
5:47
The next thing I'm gonna share is please dress from head to toes
5:52
Don't believe that only the top half matters because that's what they see on the screen
5:56
Make sure that you're also wearing something at the bottom because you never know
6:00
What if your phone, tablets or computer falls? What if the person asks you to stand up
6:05
You never know what can happen. Make sure that you're wearing something also like a pants or
6:11
Skirt make sure that you address from head to toes what I'm saying this
6:15
I know I said make sure that you address from head to toes and most of the time say don't even I see the top
6:20
Okay, I get it. I understand but that is not a good reason for you to wear
6:24
Leggings or pajamas you still need to wear something that is appropriate and that is my next tip
6:29
Make sure that you dress from head to toes, but make sure that you're also wearing something that is
6:35
That is appropriate in the bottom. Make sure that you're wearing a Paint of work pants like a skirt shoes
6:41
Just make sure that you're comfortable when it's picking up shoes make sure that you're not wearing flip-flops or anything comfortable
6:47
I'm not telling you to wear high heels, of course wear flats Let's say but make sure that you are not only dress from head to toes
6:54
But make sure that you're wearing something appropriate also something that is work related at the bottom
7:00
Teach the hearings and teach the hats I had read countless articles and countless blogs that had mentioned that it is good to wear headphones or earphones when you're doing an online
7:10
Interview it is just because you want the person to hear you clearly and you also want to hear the person clearly
7:17
Therefore don't always rely on the built-in speakers have your headphones or have your earphones and I think they want to share that with you
7:24
As well, make sure that you do have your headphones or make sure that you do have your earphones
7:28
Therefore to help you just don't wear earrings because it's just gonna be it might let's say if you are in big earrings
7:33
It might be thing. It might be tangle in the earphones And if you're wearing a hat, it's not gonna be a good thing
7:39
If you don't have your phones and you only have headphones Then the heart will definitely not help with that
7:44
Make sure that you don't wear hearings or you don't wear a hat if you do choose to wear earrings
7:50
Make sure you something small just like mine something that is not gonna be tangled in the head
7:55
If there is a wall behind you, please don't wear the same color as your background that is simply not to blend in do you imagine
8:03
Doing an online interview and the person can only see your head or your arms
8:06
