Unlike the in-person interview\, you’re not in the room with the interviewers where you can feel the energy. There are similarities\, though. For example\, you can see their facial expressions\, body language\, and hear their questions. But have you thought about how you present yourself? What about lighting\, sound\, and your background? Even how you dress and making proper eye contact matters.
