Interviews can feel daunting, but remember, we’re excited to meet you and want you to succeed.

A little preparation goes a long way in helping you feel confident and shine. Here are some practical tips:


1. Dress Smartly

Even for virtual interviews, dressing professionally shows respect and boosts your confidence. Choose business attire that makes you feel comfortable and polished. When you feel good, it shows.

2. Create a Professional Setting

Your background matters. A clean, uncluttered space helps keep the focus on you. If that’s tricky, use a neutral virtual background and avoid anything distracting. We want you to feel at ease and be your best.

3. Find a Quiet Spot

Noise can break the flow. Pick a quiet space and let others know you’ll be in an interview. This helps you stay focused and present.

4. Test your tech early

Check your internet connection.

Make sure your camera and microphone work.

Log into Teams a few minutes early, no last-minute stress!

We want the conversation to run smoothly so you can focus on showcasing your strengths.

5. Light it up

Good lighting makes a big difference. Natural light is ideal, but if that’s not possible, place a lamp in front of you (not behind) to avoid shadows. We want to see your smile clearly!

6. Keep Essentials Close

Have your CV, job description, and any notes handy. This helps you reference details easily and stay confident.

7. Minimize Distractions

Close unnecessary tabs and silence notifications. Staying focused helps you give your best and that’s what we want for you.

8. Prepare Your Questions

Interviews are a two-way conversation. Think about what you’d like to know, about the role, the team, or Proxima’s culture. Asking thoughtful questions shows curiosity and engagement, and we love that.


Remember: We’re not just assessing skills we’re looking for great people to join our team. Take a deep breath, be yourself, and know that we’re rooting for you every step of the way.
