Your tips for video conferencing interviews
Last week we asked whether you prefer a video or phone interview and you suprised us with your responses. Times they are a changin'. This week, since you seemed to indicate that video interviews were your top choice, so we asked you to share your top tips for making video interviews successful with other jobseekers. We seemed to be on target with our advice, but here are the top three we liked.
Sarthak: do not sneeeze or take sudden actions.
JenniferB: Be aware of your surroundings. Make sure that what will appear in the background is appropriate for the situation. Addtionally make sure that you have privacy. You don't want to have children, roommates, pets etc coming into view.
Anjani: simply [look] straight into the camera and answer the questions carefully as same as personal interview when I am attending for campus.
If you have any other tips please feel free to share them in our comments section. All the best!

I think the reason most of the people responded for video conference instead of just a phone interview is that most of the responded were frequent internet users so for them video conference isn't something very new.

This post is full of grammatical and spelling mistakes:
"Times they are a changin'" in stead of "Times are changing."
"This week, since you seemed to indicated that video interviewes were your top choice." In stead of "This week, since you seemed to indicate that video interviewes were your top choice,..."
I'm wondering if Microsoft would hire me if I make such kind of mistakes.

James - Thanks for catching that mistake. For the first one (Times they are a changin'), we were referencing a song lyric.
