In-person job interviews are stressful enough and now you MUST make a great first impression on camera too!
Interviewers get so much subliminal information about you during an in person interview and they are looking for the same information during video interviews. But there is more communicated on video than you may be aware of. What are you really sharing with the interviewer?
To nail the video job interview, it’s critical that you present yourself authentically and calmly when you are on camera.
The Top 2 Video Interview Killers
Being Nervous & Self Conscious
Have you ever talked with someone who is watching themselves in the mirror as they are talking to you? They start acting less like themselves and more like what they think they should be looking like and acting like. They are focused on them self...not the conversation and not you. They are self-conscious.
This is the #1 mistake people make the minute the camera gets pointed at them for a video or a photograph. They start thinking about themselves. Their energy gets focused internally.
- How does my hair look?
- Where are my hands?
- Am I smiling? Should I smile more? Less?
Think about it. When you are sitting around with your friends, actively engrossed in conversation, you are not thinking about your hair/hands/smile. You are focused externally on your friends, listening to what was said or responding with a comment or story.
