1. Breathe \u2014 it\u2019s a conversation, not an exam<\/h2>\n

Recruiters primarily want to get to know you \u2014 they\u2019re not trying to trick you. Think of the interview as a
\nconversation<\/strong>: they want to understand your personality, your motivation and what you can bring to their team. The goal of a video call is to see what you convey through the way you speak (sociability, kindness and energy).
\n<\/span><\/p>\n


\nStay smiling<\/strong>, keep a positive attitude<\/strong>, and show your enthusiasm<\/strong>. Your body language matters just as much as your words. Even through a screen, your energy makes a difference. \ud83d\udcac

2. Be yourself, even if your English or Spanish isn\u2019t perfect<\/h2>\n

Your interviewer may ask you a few questions in English or Spanish to assess your level <\/em>\u2014 don\u2019t panic if you\u2019re not fluent. Nobody expects perfect grammar. What recruiters really look at is your ability to rephrase and get your message across.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why? Because that\u2019s exactly what you\u2019ll be doing during your internship. When a client speaks to you, they won\u2019t be focusing on your mistakes; what truly matters is how you listen, understand their needs and respond clearly. Show that you\u2019re attentive, smiling and a good listener \u2014 that\u2019s what will set you apart.<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you don\u2019t understand a question? No problem \u2014 politely ask them to repeat. That\u2019s also a sign of professionalism and active listening.<\/strong>
