    1. Be conscious of what's in the view
    2. Show your real background if it's suitable
    3. Select professional attire
    4. Ready your sound and video equipment
    5. Demonstrate positive body language and behavior
    6. Engage the interviewer
    7. Prepare, prepare, prepare
    8. Know the "20 Facts of You"
    9. Practice with a friend or coaching buddy
    10. Remember that you're talented and valuable

U know what, my baby's crying (...Like fr.. she's just throwing things on the ground & doing half hand stands just bc. I think she's only mad bc she can't grind her skull into my rib cage. Prob also mad that I didn't leave it on a repetitive cartoon w/ all her familiar jams) & she's just acting like for no real reason... But I'm honestly staying focused here.

    Tip from a video guy: Raise your laptop camera (or whatever device you're using) to your eye height (a stack of books will work). That way you're looking straight into the camera and not down at the other person (which can leave a negative, subconscious impression of dominance). Plus, the camera isn't looking up your nose (which is not very flattering). This will also keep you from slouching or hunching your shoulders.
    Good luck everybody!

    This is excellent..I've had 3 zoom interviews this year and failed them all 😞 I know it's my on camera performance..I just seem bored and uninterested. The habit is because I am in IT I am also so focused on the screen and whats going on, it seems I don't pay attention to the outside world, or even think about sitting there talking to piece of plastic and metal with no real person physically in front of me. I'm going to think of it as acting with facts for that 30 min even if you're not happy and don't care pretend like it's the best thing in the world...authentically of course

    • @bruzote

      Interviews care too often about interviewing skills. You won't get paid to be a candidate, but far too often the interview process seems geared to assuming that the interview skills are what matters. I have worked in a wide range of fields which include speaking in front of groups, following, leading, mentoring, learning on the job. engaging with customers, working independently, finding common ground, advancing a controversial agenda, creating, thinking on one's feet, demonstrating one has prepared, etc. I would say almost never did my job performance depend on me being someone who interviewed well! This is a cruel reality of life. It is compounded by the fact it is hard for companies to sustain a good candidate selection process that does not induce good candidates to give up or take other job offers.

    • @bruzote
      @bruzote Год назад +1

      Zoom interviews are not preventing you. You may not be doing well, but you seem to the one who thinks you must know the other person. Don't try to know them. You don't even know your best friends as much as you might think, so stop thinking ANY interview is about that. Just sell yourself. Ask yourself, if you were a typical interviewer, what questions would you ask and what answers would interest you. Give those answers if they are not lies or significant distortions. I am betting you feel uncomfortable or want a relationship with that interviewer. Guess what? Neither of those things matter. Do the danged job and you'll get a job. Getting in your own way, so to speak, might seem easier than not getting in your own way, but you have to trust in getting through the process regardless of discomfort or compulsion. (Trust me, nearly all of this experience this and even sabotage ourselves at times.) Worry about feeling authentic or comfortable with your friends, not your job. If you feel like you have impostor syndrome, you should! That is normal. Let it be.

Thanks for giving back to the community!

      Depending on the role level, mainly - Ask about any strategic changes that are imminent in the company that would impact on the expectations of the role you're applying for. What's the organizational culture like? Are there things expected of the role not in the job description? And to really be different (and brave), ask: now that you have met me, are there any aspects of my experience or capability that you still have questions about?

      Maybe for the future, or anyone else with this problem, try to have the camera directly to the right of the screen, or in front of the middle of a large screen. Would require a separate camera or device, or maybe a laptop/tablet on it's side. Would want to trial it first with someone on the other end to see how natural your eye contact & movement is.

    I would give her more credibility if she looked at the camera, rather than the image of herself on the screen. (The example videos do this well, but her eyes are consistently off the camera.)

    I have my first interview ever for my first job ever. I don’t have a computer for the call. It’s going to have to be on my phone. The most professional clothes I have are plain colored t-shirts. I’m terrified and I probably won’t even get the job. They don’t hire a lot of 16 year olds. So there’s limited space for me.
