Before your interview begins, you'll want to make sure your laptop, camera, microphone, speakers, or headphones are working properly, and are fully charged and connected to a power source. You'll also want to ensure you have a stable internet connection, and to make sure all your software is updated to ensure you "avoid the pesky 'Do you want to update?' pop-ups and unwanted computer restarts by making sure your software is up to date before you start." Also, disable notifications, disable browser extensions, such as Grammarly, and close unnecessary applications and browser tabs, "to avoid unnecessary distractions." Kira also recommends you "disable ad-blockers and autoplay blockers, close all unnecessary browser windows and tabs, and close all non-essential computer applications to free up system resources and reduce competition for internet bandwidth." Ensure you silence any other personal electronic devices you own. Lastly, "if possible, ask your family, colleagues, or roommates for some quiet time. Let them know that they shouldn't disturb you."

"Well, I would say that if it in any way generates bias or preferential treatment for the person or group who provided the gift or subsidy, it creates a conflict of interest, in which case it would be inappropriate. So, I would say, without a clear idea of the particular context, or the ethical code of conduct that applies to any given situation, I can't possibly say what would be appropriate or acceptable. But, I have a lot of integrity, which forms my character. And, if it didn't feel right or acceptable to me, I would graciously decline accepting such a gift."

Before your interview, take advantage of the built-in practice questions, which you can complete an unlimited number of times. Also, go the extra mile and use your computer's camera to record yourself completing the interview questions in this set to get a feeling for this interview format. "Then review your performance, identify areas for improvement, and practice again."
