Welcome to this episode of Carmen’s Coaching Corner. In this very short 6-minute episode I share a few tips on how to prepare for a Skype interview. I received this question via email after a talk I gave on interviewing with confidence. The same tips can be applied to any kind of video conferencing e.g. Zoom, FaceBook Messenger etc.
Key Tips:
- Get the app or download the software to your tablet, laptop, device
- Make sure your device can support the technology
- Test!!
- Ensure you are in a quite place, minimal background noise
- Uncluttered background
- Tape your interview notes to your screen! Do not obscure the camera lens
- Make sure you are lit from the front
- Position camera slightly above eye level
- Test your sound, consider using a headset with a good mic
- Relax!
