Ok I watched this and downloaded the interview guide cheat sheet AND GOT AN OFFER BY COB SAME DAY FOR 15 K MORE THAN I EXPECTED. THANK YOU!!

[natalieharquail]

I got a job and was interviewed on Google hangouts for a position of Data entry. Now with this Corona virus most companies will either do phone or online interviews. The importance of being prepared is crucial!

[jimjones]

I like these types of interviews. It makes sense! Both parties time is not wasted and it’s more comfortable

[theresaRD]

Seems so obvious but yet after doing hundreds of video interviews and health coaching...this information is STILL very much needed!

[dylon]

One time I went on site for an interview, and then they stuck me in a room with a laptop to do a virtual interview with someone on West coast. Weirdest experience ever.

[MeredithRyncarzPhotography]

When I can I avoid interviews... they really feel impersonal and I can't read body language as well.

[BlogginBrandi]

Someone laughed at me the other day when I mentioned virtual interview. They thought I was crazy. I can't believe some people haven't had to prepare for one of the virtual job interviews yet since so many companies are using this process.


Who knew about one way video interviews, creepy and lazy on the companies part. Ahhhh Energy definitely shows up different on camera vs in person such a good point Heather!

[nikkilandry]

I have my first virtual interview today and I’m so nervous!! I really hope this helps!

[shyy]

I have an interview today... Please pray for me 🙏

[lisanguyen]

I’ve been watching your other videos.

THANK YOU! They were a big help. I got the offer I wanted this Monday

[christmashutchinsonmba]

These are great tips. Virtual interviews are the thing now and they don't makeup of in-person energy.

[raechelyndawn]

Ok... I knew all this. I needed to know what lighting to use, where I should be sitting, etc. I also cannot do this in the daytime so I needed the kind of light to use, etc. I definately don't look as clear as you look and I need a job so I cannot afford all these expensive acessories. So none of these tips helped at all and now I am very stressed and uncomfortable. 🤷‍♀️

[hopehitchcock]

How do you come off more confident in interviews and make sure the interview is conversational?

[dlynsky]

This is the 3rd video I've watched on the topic...yours was the best- concise and knowledgeable.

[DanielFordVideo]

I never thought about increasing your energy before. Ive met with people that have had such low energy and it can really bring me down. This has got to be hard especially if your an introvert. Would you say your more of an introvert or extrovert? Just curious if its easier or harder for you.

[BarbaraHeffernan]

Great tips Heather! I liked the tip about good lighting! I never really considered the importance!

[EliMagidsLuxuryHomes]

Great Info ! Virtual/Video interviews --- I have heard of being screened by a machine ! Crazy !

[Idksomething]

What’s the reasoning behind the comment that video interviews decrease the overall employee turn over rate mentioned at 1:25?
