Helen says: \u2018It is a step up from a normal face-to-face interview. I was definitely more conscious of having to make my facial expressions a little more exaggerated. My backdrop was my bedroom wall, but it was my home office too, so luckily there weren\u2019t too many distractions. Sitting where I did, I also felt like I was in more of a \u2018work\u2019 environment, which focused me more. I wouldn\u2019t have got this being in my kitchen or living room\u2019.<\/p>\n<p>Accepted wisdom is that video interviews don\u2019t negatively impact naturally nervy candidates any more than face-to-face ones do, but there is a view that nervous job seekers can calm their anxiety be removing the interviewer can\u2019t see any aide memoir Post-it notes that interviewees can stick around their screen at eye-level, to remind them of key messages they want to say.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3143,"template":"","categories":[],"region":[158,159,160,161,162,240],"class_list":["post-914","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Video produced the corporate star \u2013 London Evening Standard - Argon &amp; Co<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.argonandco.com\/en\/news-insights\/articles\/video-produced-the-corporate-star-london-evening-standard\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Video produced the corporate star \u2013 London Evening Standard - Argon &amp; Co\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Crimson &amp; Co are pleased to announce Senior Consultant, Helen Chiswell\u2019s comments on video interviewing in the London Evening Standard.
