Your post this week reminded me of how I had to interview with the Credentialing Body of my religious denomination in March 2020. Originally we were supposed to fly to Boston for the interview. At the last minute, the interview was moved to zoom.
I quickly looked at my office in a completely different way and had to get new technology. From that whole endeavor, the tip I think about the most is about how to make sure the camera isn't looking up my nose!
I ended up starting a new ministry on Zoom in Aug. 2020 -- preaching from my guest bedroom. What a whirlwind! I've gotten quite comfortable with Zoom and sometimes prefer it when I'd rather not commute.
I thought I hated job interviews till I started having them on Zoom — that made me wish they could still be in person! I had one with 9 people all on the screen at once, taking turns asking me questions. And I knew a couple of them (small world in Bay Area clean energy). I do so much better in person. But these are good tips, especially the one about the eyeline. I find that part tricky, so practicing with a friend is a good idea.
Thanks as always for being here, Rosana. I’m an introvert but I do better in person too. There’s so much to be said about the cues and vibes that come from being in the room with people.
