Virtual job interview booked? Dress professionally. Lighting is in front of you, not behind you. Use a contrasting colour background. Ensure wall behind you is devoid of clutter or use a plain virtual background if your device supports it. More tips at https://t.co/otR0lB6ltB
If a PowerPoint slide doesn't make a speaker’s message clearer, more believable, or more impactful, it should not be used. Unnecessary slides or visuals only draw attention away from the speaker and interfere with the communication process. #PainlessPublicSpeaking#PublicSpeaking

How to say everything yet finish on time?
Use structure!

The organization of your speech is important for several reasons.
A well-organized speech is easier for your audience to follow, understand, and remember.
It is also easier for you, as a speaker, to deliver. #PainlessPublicSpeaking#PublicSpeaking
Virtual job interview? Make eye contact with the camera, not the screen. Find the camera on your laptop, phone or other device. Pretend the camera is a person. And don’t shift your focus from your camera to your screen; you won’t look confident.

Feeling nervous before giving a speech is normal, but too much can make you fail. Practice, practice & practice! Rehearse with all equipment you'll be using. Revise as necessary. Work to control filler words by using pauses to breathe. More tips at https://t.co/kj4cG5iiyk
