2026 February
If we allow a little bit of time and energy before we are on camera, we would look a lot more professional. Let me put it into points:
Preparation:
- Background neutral, even dull; focus should be on you, not your pictures in the background
- Clothing nice, no pyjamas
- Hair combed
- Turn off music
- Turn off your telephone
- Shut door
- Be on time or a few minutes early
During the conversation:
- Face should be right in the middle of the lens, place well lit
- Make sure sound and connection is perfect
- If at all possible don’t turn away from the camera
- Don’t talk to your pet
- Don’t use telephone
- Be as natural as you can.
