Online job interviews: Position the camera to show more than just your head

6/5/2020

Some things are unique to virtual or online interviews. Here's one thing to consider: decide how much of your upper body should be visible on the screen of your interviewers. Is just showing your head and shoulders enough? When interviewing online, I have sometimes asked candidates to reposition their cameras, when all they had let us see of themselves was just their head and maybe the very tip of their shoulders. Even the view of me you can see in the photo of me accompanying this blog, is not showing enough of me that you would be able to see my hand gestures when talking. I recommend that you let the interviewer(s) see as much of your upper body as they would if you were sitting at the table across from them, so that they can see you hand gestures. Especially so, if like me, you talk with your hands! This video on my Instagram page shows you what I mean.
