Candidate Interviewing Tips

First off, congratulations! An invitation to interview for a job is a great step towards advancing your career. Apriora is a candidate-first, AI-powered interviewing platform that helps candidates like yourself put your best foot forward when interviewing.

What is an interview on Apriora?

You’ll be live interviewing over a video call with Alex, our AI recruiter. Your conversation with her is personalized and in real-time, just like other interviews you’ve done in the past. Unlike other interviews, your interview with Alex will be fair and consistent, so you don’t have to worry about off-topic questions or interviewer biases.

Find a quiet place with good wifi

Interviewing on Apriora is similar to the video calls on Zoom or Teams many of us have been use to, which is why it’s really important to interview when you have a strong and stable wifi signal. Since you can interview from anywhere, make sure it’s somewhere you’re comfortable and that’s free from outside noise. Don’t forget to check your lighting and dress appropriately, and remember, just be natural!

Treat it like any other interview

Prepare for your interview with Alex like you would for any job interview. Always do some research about the job and company, and spend some time thinking about how your skills align with the job requirements. Employers love hearing about your past experience, problem solving skills, and industry knowledge. To prepare, review your resume and become comfortable talking about your previous (and current) roles. You can even keep your notes next to you in case you need a reminder during the interview. Make sure not to use external resources like Google or generative AI during your interview!

And finally, be yourself

Just like an in-person or traditional phone interview, this is your chance to shine and share what you offer. Be authentic and remember—relax! Have fun and let your skills and personality do the talking! Most importantly, be authentic. Just speak and focus in the way that makes you comfortable. Get excited and share your energy with Alex!
