So, answer the declaration for war now - Prevview is providing you the weapon and you just have to bring it! Are you on for the battle ? However, here are some golden tips for you to win the battle: Take the video in a bright environment Clean up your room Your surroundings can be just as important as your personal presentation Keep the noise down Finding a quiet place to do the interview is vital as the microphone picks up more background noise than you might think. Dogs barking, children crying, mobile phones or music are not welcome distractions when an interviewer is trying to determine whether you will be suitable for a job. Nor does it look good if you have people walking in and out of the room – if need be, make yourself a 'do not disturb' sign and stick it on the door. Practice makes perfect Try recording yourself before the interview to make sure everything is working and practice answering some imaginary questions. While you might feel silly, it will help build up your confidence for the real thing. Lights, camera, action! Try to make eye contact: look straight into the camera when you are talking, as this will make the interviewer feel as if you are speaking directly to them, despite being hundreds of kilometres away. Don't shout, but do speak loudly and clearly. Sometimes with video calls there may be a delay with the picture so a clear speaking voice is extremely important.But most of all, relax. By the time you have done your research, know your stuff and look great, all you have to do now is work the camera, baby! * You can vote for your favourite one here now! http://www.prevview.com/visumewars/index.php/user
