Remain Focused: It’s tough to hold someone’s attention when you’re not in the same room. It is even more difficult if your attention is not 100% focused. Cover up anything that might distract you – piles of laundry, books that you’re intending to read, etc. If during your video chat you stop thinking about the interview, you can guarantee that the interviewer will stop thinking about you. That said, do not get worried if the interviewer appears to be looking down or to the side. He or she may be writing down notes about how amazing you are!
