As an alumni interviewer, I'd like to praise the interviewer and interviewer. Both are passionate and interesting persons and together produced evidence for a highly favorable recommendation.
This was so helpful! I love the mock interview instead of it just being tips. I wanted to know how we should end the interview virtually. Do I exit out of Zoom, do I wait for the interviewer to exit? After we say bye, what is the best thing to do?
Good question. You can end with a simple "Thank you for your time. I enjoyed talking with you." Once you say that, you can leave the meeting. And I typically like to have my mouse hover over the leave button in Zoom to avoid that awkward pause between saying goodbye and actually leaving.
