  • Download Microsoft Teams in advance

  • If possible, we recommend you make your call from a private/quiet room and test your device's audio, video, and internet connection in advance
  • We recommend you use the "Blur my Background" feature
  • If you have technical issues, please contact the interviewer ASAP or attempt to conduct the interview over the phone as a last resort
Dress Professionally

If you are selected for an interview, we recommend wearing business casual clothing to make a good first impression.

If business casual clothing is not accessible to you, we recommend the following resources:

  • Borrow from a friend or mentor 
  • Check out resale stores locally or online for reduced cost
  • Career Services Career Closet - free clothing available to check out for IC students!
