Updated September 2023<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Great news! You\u2019ve located your dream work-at-home job in our Remote Jobs Database<\/a><\/span> and revised your resume to make yourself more marketable to employers<\/a>.\u00a0Now it\u2019s time for the next\u00a0hiring test: your remote interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Navigating the world of remote job interviews requires a blend of traditional preparation and an understanding of the virtual workspace. As more companies shift to remote operations, jobseekers find themselves facing a unique set of remote interview questions designed to gauge not only their skills and experience but also their ability to thrive in a remote environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you’re new to telecommuting or returning to a home-based work model after some time away in an onsite position, a remote interview can seem daunting. Allow us to\u00a0ease your reservations about virtual job interviews with this list of six common remote interview questions remote-friendly employers<\/a> are likely to ask, and\u00a0advice on how to formulate your answers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Remote Interview Question 1: Tell me about yourself.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This classic ice-breaker is used to test the applicant\u2019s ability to summarize information and organize thoughts. Think of it as a 30-second elevator pitch that sells the best product around \u2014 you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When constructing your answer to this remote interview question, focus\u00a0on your most recent professional history. Discuss what you learned at previous positions and what major strengths you accrued. At the end of your elevator pitch<\/a>, come full circle by relating your professional experience to how you can use it to benefit your prospective employer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Interview Question 2: What is your greatest strength? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here’s\u00a0where the job description for the position to which you are applying is particularly useful. Review\u00a0the core competencies required and choose one to discuss when asked this question during your remote interview.\u00a0Perhaps your greatest strength is your\u00a0rapid response time or exceptional customer service ability. Whatever the case, ensure you can back up your claim\u00a0with a couple of examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Interview Question 3: What is your greatest weakness?  <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

We all have our weaknesses, but,\u00a0during a\u00a0remote job interview, don’t think of them as flaws. Instead, frame a professional drawback as a learning curve by talking about steps you have taken overcome an issue. Mention professional development<\/a> you’ve undergone and classes or webinars you’ve taken to brush up on the latest in industry software, for example. Doing this will allow your self-awareness\u00a0to shine and speak volumes to your hireability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Interview Question 4: How would you handle it if\u2026? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ah, the scenario question. When a hiring manager asks this question in a remote interview the employer is looking to gauge your ability to problem solve, especially under pressure. Think back to your last job; when something went wrong, how did you deal with it? Use the Triple D outline for answering the question:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Describe the problem<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Detail your solution<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Divulge the outcome<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    That\u2019s it \u2014 keep it simple and avoid rants or extraneous details.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Interview Question 5: Do you have any questions for us? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    If not, you should! Spend some serious time drumming up one or two questions from the job description that you can ask your employer toward the end of your remote interview. As you develop your questions, consider the company\u2019s daily delegation process, communication platforms, your relationship to your superior, or other aspects of company culture that are important to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bonus Tip: Know that\u00a0the employer isn’t\u00a0just interviewing you, you\u2019re also interviewing your prospective employer<\/a><\/span>. If you think of your interview in these terms, it\u2019ll feel less like a test and more like a discussion of mutual interests.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n

    Question 6: Why Should We Hire You? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are several variations of this question like, \u201cWhy would you be a great fit for this company?\u201d or \u201cWhat will you bring to role that no one else can?\u201d No matter what form the question takes, your answer should be the same: you are unique, and explain why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    While elaborating on your most desired attributes, avoid industry clich\u00e9s<\/a> such as hardworking, a team player, or detail-oriented. Talk about how you\u2019re mission-driven, how the company\u2019s professional goals are aligned with your own, or how your background in a different field will strengthen your skill set in this position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
