TOP TIPS
TOP TIPS
- Designated workspace.
> You should always ensure that your workspace is quiet, clean and appropriate. This will have a positive impact on employers if it is a virtual meeting that you are attending. If you feel it is not possible to have a workspace in which you feel it is appropriate, then you can always use a more suitable virtual background.
- Set up your tech.
> Make sure that you check your wi-fi, audio and camera before you join. This allows the online conference call to flow much more efficiently and allows you to join straight away which does not waste time, which again will really benefit your opportunities if you are on for an interview.
- Communication
> Do not hide away on a online conference call. Make sure that you keep your camera on at all times, unless asked to turn it off. It is also very important to turn your microphone on and respond when spoken to. If you are doing any educational work via the online conference you can use then hand if you a question, this will show the presenter that you are ego.
- Professionalism
> As above, it is important to keep you camera on and microphone on, be on time to the meeting (if not early to the meeting), dress appropriately and ensure you are still remaining eye contact with others, this maintains professionalism. These are going to be an advantage if the meeting was for a virtual interview.
- Awareness
> Remain aware as to what is going on during the online conference meeting as this will guarantee that you will not miss any vital information and you are keeping on track what is going on. This will also ensure that you know when you are being spoken too and that you do miss any opportunity to speak or ask questions.
