Tip: Tips for a Successful Video Interview / Introduction

Look directly into the camera - no beady eyes, though!
Relax, don't speak too fast, look comfortably into the camera.
Consider how you sound / come across
Write up your remarks as bullet points (: DO NOT READ FROM A SCRIPT - I WILL BE ABLE TO SEE YOUR EYES MOVING FROM SIDE TO SIDE READING IT, AND YOUR VOICE TONE WILL NOT BE GOOD, AND YOU WILL APPEAR ROBOTIC AND WOODEN)
Rehearse out loud, watch yourself / hear inflexions in tone (mirror), pacing
Be enthusiastic smile if you can - and smile in your voice
Wear smart casual attire - no hoodies or sweatpants!
Don't sit on your bed OR do the video in your bedroom
Be aware of bad angles, poor lighting

Record your video - make sure sound level is OK and camera is working
- Upload completed video to your YouTube Account (i.e., you may have to create a YouTube account - you can do so, but use your personal gmail address)
- Set it to UNLISTED - so that anyone who has the link can see it (i.e., Me - Your Instructor) - You don't have to make it Public
Give it a meaningful name (i.e., your First Name & Last Name - Video Interview)
- Make sure the YouTube Settings are: Anyone with the Link Can View
- You will EMAIL the link to me.
Create a MS Word document and make sure it is named properly - (i.e., your First Name & Last Name - Video Interview)
- IN THE BODY OF THE DOCUMENT - WRITE YOUR FULL NAME (FIRST & LAST NAME) WITH YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS AND PHONE NUMBER(S) - (with area code) (: This will save me time so I don't have to hunt around for your contact information.)
- Create a Heading - "Video Interview" and put the link under the heading - test it to make sure that it opens properly (you can use your browser in Incognito or Private Mode)
- Submit your MS Word document to Sakai - Assignments Folder
