online interview

The online interview was a lot different than I thought it would. The environment was unlike any interview environment I had been in before. I am glad that I was able to practice before doing it for an actual interview. I was surprised at how professional an online interview could be. I liked that I was able to have my application and a few notes in front of me to reference throughout the interview. I thought that it was hard to have eye contact during the interview because I felt that if I was looking at the camera then I wasn't looking at the interviewer, but if I was looking at his face, then on his side it looked like I wasn't looking at him. The eye contact was definitely the hardest part to balance throughout the interview. I also realized part way through the interview that I didn't have very great posture and that it was noticeable on the screen, so that is something else that I could work on. Overall, I felt that it was very successful and a great learning experience!
