Belong in the Zoom for Interviewing
Belong in the Zoom for Interviewing
A Zoom interview configuration that works with your brain in belonging instead of against it!
There’s a way to do your Zoom interview that leaves you and the person across from you, energized and better connected. Where you provide the clarity and emotional presence to move forward in trusting impact, as someone they’d love to work with.
Being the humans that we are, we need to give and receive relational signals that build connection, clarity, and trust, that is in short, belonging. (Hint: looking down your nose at somebody rarely creates the bond that takes us to a unite & fight emotional place.)
Interviewing over Zoom is here to stay, so I’m here to help you set yourself up for an easier and better way going forward.
Would you like to stop your unintentional sending and receiving of wrong signals, that leave you and your interviewers fatigued and unclear?

Requirements: Two monitors (one + your laptop screen), a separate HD functioning webcam, and a possible external mic.
2nd Monitor, your choice, (ping me and tell me what you do, and I can steer ya in the right direction)
I recommend the Logitech 920 series for WebCam ($60-$100)
After testing out too many webcams as an IT Director in my former lifeI recommend the ATR 2100x USB microphone if your room acoustic has too much echo ($60-$100)
