WARM UP WITH A FRIEND

When you’re all set up, do a Skype video call with a friend. Not only will that help you test the clarity of the video and audio, that friend can also ag potentially embarrassing things you hadn’t noticed – like the One Direction poster on your wall.

Also, practise. Record a mock interview and review it, so you can see which areas need work. Nobody automatically looks good on camera. Keep at it, and you’ll see improvement.
