    Had my first interview via video conference today! One tip I’d add is before you start answering the questions, just do a quick check with your interviewers that they can see & hear you well 👍🏼

    Very good tips! Thanks for sharing. I would also recommend making sure you’re dressed just like you would an in person interview and if you have notes be sure to focus on maintaining eye contact and just use notes as reference points (not to read from them).
    Also be sure to test out your technology and internet connections before hand. Good luck job seekers! :)

    Thank you Linda,
    I have experienced that the best way to look and sound natural in front of camera during online courses is using PPT Mirror app to convert your Powerpoint slides into teleprompter software, therefore you maintain eye contact and speak freely with the audience because you always have your whole concept in mind also your speech remains natural as you don't read word for word.

    I like the tip on the height of the laptop as well as the background. I've discovered that if I put a window in front of my face and sit at the dining room table I get a lot of glare and if I turn my back to the window it's too dark I haven't figured out how to attend a zoom meeting without anxiety. Clothing is not a problem, but now I understand the rules governing how much background to show. This is good I like knowing what other people can see oh, and I base that on what I see in their house. Is that a good rule of thumb
