Have you heard of a woman who turned herself into a potato during a video meeting? She couldn’t figure out how to fix it and had to stay that way for the rest of the call. (lol).
But wait! Wait! Don’t get distracted! I’ve put a link to it right under the infographic below. You can take a look at it in a second.
But before you click that link, you should know that the infographic I've just mentioned can help you avoid such catastrophe. It can be the difference between being a potato at your video job interview and scoring the job. After all, potatoes don't get hired, only people do! (What a delightfully weird sentence! ☺️)
