When introducing yourself in an online interview, it can be a bit awkward. In a normal, face to face interview the proper way to greet the interviewer/s and introduce yourself would be to shake their hands. When the interview is held online then the person being interviewed should introduce themselves first as well as their background and their qualifications, then listen to each of the members introduce themselves and make a note to tilt your head when a new person begins to talk. This will allow the members on the interview call to see you are actively listening and moving along with them. This becomes more of what is known as a “one way interview”
