When preparing to be interviewed from home, your surroundings may be perceived as a reflection of your work-life balance. So, you'll want to make sure your appearance and personal space are consistent with your claims of being organized, professional, stable, and reliable. Consider the space you choose for your online interview as a reflection of your professionalism and work ethic.

"I manage the balance between my work and personal life by being self-aware. For example, if you are working from home, are super focussed on work, and haven't noticed that your home is getting a little messy, you won't realize your surroundings are impacting your motivation and mental well-being. In this circumstance, your home and your work are the same. So, let's say I'm working at the office, then I will make sure I am prepared in every way. I'll prepare or plan for my lunch, will prepare for my morning, and prepare for my personal time as well. I balance both spheres by setting aside time to dedicate to that balance. I call it in-between time."
