Are You Zoom-Ready? Video Interviews & Zoom Meetings Here to Stay

These days it’s not IF you’re going to have a video job interview or Zoom-based conference–it’s WHEN. Those of you who are already proficient and comfortable in this area of technology have nothing to worry about, in most cases. For many, though, it’s a nerve-wracking situation potentially fraught with peril! You might find it helpful to read my blog post entitled “How to Ace a Zoom Interview” for a few tips.

In an effort to help job seekers who might not yet feel fully at ease with video technology, I’m planning to use Zoom for interview coaching sessions, as well as for project consultations, business presentation practice sessions, and more. Because I’m working out some technology (equipment) issues that are taking longer than expected (not helped by the pandemic!), I’m thinking it might not happen until the spring of 2021, but we will see. For more information, you can call me at 508-263-9454 or email me.

What’s Your Job Search Challenge?

Do you relate to any of these statements?

• I’m a senior executive in my company and need to carry out a highly confidential job search. However, I don’t have someone I can trust to work with me, someone I can safely share sensitive information with.
• Although my resume worked earlier in my career, I’m concerned it won’t take me to the next level now.
• My resume gets me some interviews, but I haven’t interviewed for a job in 15 years, and everything’s different now. I’m sure I’ve missed out on jobs I should have landed because I blew the interview.
• I don’t have a LinkedIn profile and don’t have time to bother with it, but everyone tells me I need one. What’s so important about being on LinkedIn, anyway?
• I feel like I’m spinning my wheels trying to do the whole job search thing by myself.
