VIDEO CONFERENCING REDUCES TRAVEL FOR MEETINGS

Recent research shows that most professionals around the world think that internet video conferencing – using an “internet video phone” to see and talk with other people around the world – is very useful. They also think that video conferences can replace business travel for face-to-face meetings.

Nearly 1,000 top executives in many countries were interviewed. About 900 of them agreed that video conferencing, e-mail and instant messaging help make them competitive. Video conferencing saves time, because professionals do not need to travel for meetings. In addition, travelling abroad can be very tiring for business people, but video conferencing is easy. It also saves money on air tickets and hotels. In the past, video conferencing was very expensive. Now you need only an inexpensive camera that connects to your computer, and a low-cost internet video service like Yahoo. Finally, reducing air travel is good for the environment.

Mobile phone makers like Samsung, Nokia and Sony Ericsson are introducing mobile phones with video conferencing features, so video conferencing will soon be even easier.

THE INTERVIEWING PROCESS

Since we cannot hide our energy, it would be well not to seek opportunities when we are depressed or feeling ill. Smile because happy people get hired faster. Basically, the object is to be yourself. Most employers prefer people who are open, honest and speak straight across, person-to-person.

It is not necessarily the person with the most skills who gets hired. It is a person who the employer likes and believes will fit into the organization. Success in establishing comfort naturally increases with additional visits. The impression is dependent upon how we look, how we feel and also, how we act.

During the interview, be sure to dress appropriately, make eye contact, and greet the recruiter with a firm handshake. Answer the questions posed concisely and with a degree of modesty. Come prepared with questions about the company itself. Do research in advance on the corporate web site so that job descriptions and company projects are familiar.

Be able to briefly talk about your education, experience and abilities in relationship to the job for which you are applying. Be ready to discuss what you have learned about the company that has motivated you to apply for the job. Practice means saying the words out loud, not to memorize, rather just to have experience saying the words. Thinking about what you will say is not the same as saying what you will say.
