Being interviewed on camera can, at best, be stressful,

but we think we've nailed it with over 1000 workplace interviews - working out, not only how to put you totally at ease but also how to extract the very best from any interview situation.

Here's a few tips...

There is an art to marshalling a good video interview.

• Camera positioning is critical and will set your interview apart from the rest, especially if you're confident about experimenting with the space you find yourself in.

• Lighting can ruin a video interview so being aware of how good or bad the natural light is will be a great start point.

• Poor sound is probably the most destructive element to any video, so get it right and avoid sound polluted spaces.

• Put your subject at east by letting them know roughly how long their ordeal will last. Remind them that it's 'just a conversation' and get rid of and any onlookers!

The quality of your production will also depend on the quality of your equipment and the skill of your editor but help yourself get off to a great start with these pointers. Good Luck.
