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 👍🏼
Thank you Linda, had a FaceTime interview yesterday 7/22 followed the steps. I looked like a TH-cam star. I looked like I was putting on a pod cast. The interviewer, Didn’t look so well. I got the offer. During the interview. Thanks u
I just got accepted in a position i really wanted! I literally watched all your videos and wrote down so many notes!! Thanks alot for your help ❤️❤️❤️🤗🤗🤗🤗
Confession: I've done a zoom meeting with a formal business shirt and silly pajama pants. It was one of my BEST MEETINGS EVER. I'd this secret that made me smile the whole training session. I'd totally recommend it at least once 🤭
I searched for quite a while on TH-cam until I found a straight forward, good quality video on interview call set up. Your videos are the best-straight to the point, down to earth, informative, and excellent quality. Thank you!
Hey Linda, I just wanted to say Thank you. Your tips were extremely helpful. I am usually not very good at job interviews, but after watching this and some of your earlier videos I got very positive feedback from the interviewers. I think these simple tips made me stand out. And I ended up getting the job!
I put books under my laptop too and made such a difference. Also I sat opposite window and put some lamp above so it soften the features. Brill tips. Most important do not have anything distracting in background. You can test it all way ahead of meeting/interview.
I heard the tip for stop looking at yourself is once you on the call you put a post it note over the small screen where you see yourself. It worked wonders.
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 am about to face my 9 times failed dreamy interview again on this coming 23rd of Dec. I hope your guidance will play a bigger role at this time. Thanks a lot
Thank you for the video, Linda! I agree that you should not need to purchase a new camera, although many people seem to recommend that. And lighting is definitely key!
Funny i came across your video two day after my via video lol but i must say i think i did pretty good angles my phone because i dont have a laptop ,every thing you mention on" how to " i did & got the job! So, now i do my orientation the same way tmrw too
Thank you for this excellent video. However I was surprised you didn't cover the topic of "virtual backgrounds" in the backgrounds section. What do you think of them - assuming they are professional looking?
Thank you for the video. I am getting ready for my first zoom video applying for an internship at a human service agency. I got a lot of good tips from you about the camera angle and clothing that I have not considered.
Girl no!! I can’t wear pj’s on the bottom cuz the interviewers DO ask you to stand up and turn around to make sure you’re fully dressed. You don’t wanna fall into that trap and then go oops
Wow, what kind of employer asks that? Do they ask if your bed is made too? If your kids have their hair combed? When you come to work, they going to check if your clothes are ironed and your pits smell good? I know I went far. I've interviewed with CEOs who are on their couch and in a hoodie.
@@maureen_momo a couple of my potential employers, for example teaching. I had to give a demo lesson and they wanted to see if I was dressed fully too.
@@FransceneJK98 That makes sense that you're expected to teach/give presentations on a regular basis on camera. As someone in the software industry, I have never been asked and I would find it ridiculous if this was asked to anyone applying for a typical technical role.
Great job, Linda! Lots of excellent advice without being self-serving or long-winded. Plus, I appreciate your modeling your own recommendations. Much appreciated!
A great tips amazing the way you deliver its really clear your voice of tone everyone can understand I like and I done my thumbs-up my subscription keep it up. God bless
David Karadine the tell me about your experience and education. There was about 3 scenario questions. I had to present a 7 minute power point. It just depends on the position and organization you apply for the types of questions. But for sure scenario questions
Great tips on looking good while presenting yourself using video conferencing applications like Webex, Zoom, R-HUB HD video conferencing servers, Skype etc. Thank you for the same.
Linda, what if the only (quiet/uninterrupted) place to do my video interview is inside my car while parked in the parking garage at work? How do I set up my backdrop or make it not obvious that I'm in a car? Shall I use a false backdrop in the Zoom settings?
Hi Linda, how you create all these ideas.. you are truly amazing.🤗🤗💐💐 Linda I wish you to handle this topic, which is how to continue loving my job despite any negative things that may happen. I already love my job. Once I heard you Linda saying: your real job is the one that wakes you in the morning eager to work. From that time I taught my self to love my job. YOU are my role model in this life💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐🏅🥇
Biggest recommendation, take a benzodiazepine like Xanax or Klonopin before the interview. The nerves go away and you will kill it as long as you prepped your answers for a few days previous to the interview.
Thanks Linda for your helpful and excellent videos. I just came across your videos this evening. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and time with us. God bless!!! ♥️
How did you get into career strategy? If I'm not mistaken, CPA means certified public accountant and CA means chartered accountant. How did you land up doing this..?
Thank you Linda, this is a first for me, I've never had a video interview and I have my first next week, so Im nervous and appreciate all your tips today. Ive done zoom group calls but not one on one, so thank you. I guess a video call can be better on a laptop than on a phone. Did you want a window behind me, and as background or the laptop? If you could that would help .
Linda, your how to look good on video tutorial is amazing. I learned a lot from you tips. Where did you buy the cute white tiny plant pots on the wall? They are adorable. I love your setup.
Hi Linda, thanks for the useful tips. Do you have any recommendation for the light to be used with laptop for video conference/interview? Mostly I found only those with cellphone. The one that can be clipped on the laptop doesn't seem to provide enough light. Or would you recommend using cellphone for interview in this case?
I like your video, but who has a window in front of a wall with a spot to sit in between? I see what you are saying, but can't think of anywhere in my house.
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

Ha. Tomorrow is my fifth round and I’ve worn pj pants on the first four 😂😂. Waist and up was super professional though 🤷♀️😂😂
It’s about the background and lighting more than what color your wear. Crazy pattern is not okay for sure but black or white are absolutely fine.
I searched for quite a while on TH-cam until I found a straight forward, good quality video on interview call set up. Your videos are the best-straight to the point, down to earth, informative, and excellent quality. Thank you!
Linda, thanks to your Channel, I got my dream job. Had a video interview and your video advice was a huge help.

Yes! The laptop or camera has to be eye level! So important. I use books to get the right height. Thanks Linda!
Yes! I put my laptop up on a box (maybe 5 inches higher) and it was so much better.
So using a drone was why one of my new interviews was a fail
I put books under my laptop too and made such a difference. Also I sat opposite window and put some lamp above so it soften the features. Brill tips. Most important do not have anything distracting in background. You can test it all way ahead of meeting/interview.

Thanks Linda 😊 I am not very comfortable doing video calls because I am very conscious about how I look, these tips are really helpful 😊
My boss surprised me with a 6:30am conference call.... I never did my makeup so fast in my life. 😂 Wonderful tips, you always give the best advice.
How was it ?
That is so funny - i've been in that situation too.
I have been watching your videos ever since I was applying for a promotion. It helped me a lot and guess what I got job! Thanks Linda! Keep it up! 😊
Were you able to get your promotion? What about Linda's videos do you find to help you?

How was it ?
Same here . But I going to use my phone because I don’t have a laptop lol
@@joyjackson8249 me too tomorrow
Theres a feature in many video calls where you can artificially blur the background. Very handy if you dont have a good background available.
I have a video interview in an hour, wish me luck! 🙌

Thank you for the tips.I'm gonna have my zoom interview this coming tuesday.❤🙏
Lighting is everything in camera work!

Wear leggings that could be pants! That’s what I’m doing lol. I also think asking a hire to show their full body is kind of problematic personally
Wow, what kind of employer asks that? Do they ask if your bed is made too? If your kids have their hair combed? When you come to work, they going to check if your clothes are ironed and your pits smell good? I know I went far. I've interviewed with CEOs who are on their couch and in a hoodie.

Love the painting. I am usually using my laptop while on zoom. Zoom is so up-in-your-face. I wish I could put a camera far away like this.
yeah it is I get what you mean
Our fathers and mothers taught us to keep our hair clean and combs...thank you
A great tips amazing the way you deliver its really clear your voice of tone everyone can understand I like and I done my thumbs-up my subscription keep it up. God bless
Requirements as the view, the position of the camera, the brush hair, the dressing neutral colors, put over the face make up.
Very Nice Video ❤ I liked the tips thank you for sharing
Good things to keep in mind And create a positive impression
And of course TryingIsWinning
Hi Linda. That was a very informative video. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Linda Raynier, can you make a video on how to be focused please
I have a zoom interview tomorrow! Thank you for tips
How was the interview?
David Karadine it went well!
@@Yvetteness
Can you share with us the questions and answers you gave please ?
David Karadine the tell me about your experience and education. There was about 3 scenario questions. I had to present a 7 minute power point.
It just depends on the position and organization you apply for the types of questions. But for sure scenario questions
@@Yvetteness well , thank you endlessly my sister!
I have had good video meetings with these tips before
I definitely need to hear this one, thanks for sharing Linda... 😀
Nice...this helps me a lot. I can use this when I apply for my new career in Media
Great tips on looking good while presenting yourself using video conferencing applications like Webex, Zoom, R-HUB HD video conferencing servers, Skype etc. Thank you for the same.
Linda- can you make a video on how to write an email to the hr for current job opening.
Great. Very worthwhile 👍🏻

Just curious, how did you teach yourself to love your job?
Good to know about shirt colours all mine are white, or dark blue, so time to go shopping!
Hi Linda, your video and the whole presence is so professional! May I ask what brand/model of video camera and lighting do you use? Thanks a lot!
can you do a video on outfits to wear and makeup for interview
7:30
Biggest recommendation, take a benzodiazepine like Xanax or Klonopin before the interview. The nerves go away and you will kill it as long as you prepped your answers for a few days previous to the interview.

Go for neutral colors or pastels- sky blue for men?
Thanks a lot!
