Phone and video interviews became increasingly popular among recruiters to screen candidates during the pandemic. Now post pandemic, they are still in full force. If you're preparing for a job interview on the phone or via video conference, here are some powerful tips that will help you stand out as a top candidate.

Think beyond the obvious when building a network. “Everybody you know is your network. Everyone—from former colleagues, to suppliers, relatives and friends, to your dentist and people in community or leisure activities. Ask yourself, ‘who do I know?’ That’s your network.”
