Have you worked on remote teams? What strategies and tools do you use?

Be ready to answer questions that are focused on a specific set of remote work skills in addition to the usual interview questions you might get for a traditional in-office job and questions specific to the role or industry. While every company is different, the most common traits recruiters and hiring managers look for when interviewing a candidate for a remote job include reliability, strong communication skills, and the ability to work independently and take initiative.

"In my previous remote role, our team used Zoom for weekly meetings and impromptu one-on-ones. We were also expected to be available on Slack throughout the day for quick questions or updates and often worked in shared docs and spreadsheets on Google Drive. I know your project teams use Airtable to track projects, which I'm not as familiar with, but I spent some time working with a demo the other day, and I think I can familiarize myself with it rather quickly."
