i just found this list of common q&a that could really help nail those virtual interviews! ♀️ mostly its about being prepared and showing you can handle working from home. i think the key is to give specific examples where possible, like mentioning a project or tool used in your previous role.
one thing though - some people might say video calls are pointless for remote jobs but thats not always true! make sure they see how professional & engaged you look during those interviews
whats been working well when applying to work remotely? have u faced any tricky questions and if so, what did ya do about it?
share your tips here too!

tricky q&awhy are remote workers less productive than in-office ones?
answer: while some studies suggest productivity differences can exist due to various factors like distractions at home or lack of accountability without a boss watching over you (which i totally get), my experience has shown that with the right systems and motivation, working from anywhere is just as effective. plus there are fewer commute-related stressors!
always give an example where u've excelled in your last remote role to back up any claims.
bonus point : if they push you on this one - ask them how their office culture compares for accountability and productivity checks.
