The Video Interview
12/11/2024
Those of us old enough to remember watching ‘The Brady Bunch’ on TV, also remember the First interview, when we entered the job market.
Put on a tie and jacket (or equivalent), go to office (or meet an out of town manager at a hotel), bring a copy of your resume, and then interview with a manager for 30 – 60 minutes.
Sometimes this meeting was preceded by a 15 – 20 minute phone screen with an HR Representative.
Post covid … The First F2F interview, has now become a video interview with the manager.
Managers are video interviewing people who live 5 minutes away from the office.
OK … so what?
Well, the takeaway … it’s important to treat these first ‘Video’ meetings, like the old school first F2F interviews … the questions you need to answer, the questions you need to ask, etc.
Most important though, is what you wear.
Probably not the hoodie.
It’s the first visual impression.
And … there is only one chance for that.
31-34, clouds .. maybe 30 minutes of sunshine.
Make it a great day, everyone!
