Does anyone have any recommendations to hide sunlight glare in a zoom? Even with my blinds closed it makes me look a little shiny, and would prefer to avoid that during an interview.

Can you rotate your desk?

Yes I agree the best way would be to face the window instead of having the window behind you.

Is this only for interviews? Do you have decent light if the sunlight is blocked? You could try blocking the sunlight with cardboard or a temp blackout curtain that stay on with suction cups, then get something to light your face from the front

Add additional lighting. Your camera is adjusting to the low light

Window behind you or in front?

Behind

Ring light solved it for me.

Real difficult. You either decrease brightness from the sun and makes you too dark. Or you keep yourself in focus and the sunlight blows everything out. I’d say the only way is to maybe block the sun with your head in the frame. But might need to reconsider your desk placement

Unfortunately, I have limited flexibility with my WFJ set up. I hope the interviewer doesn’t think it’s a big deal. I may just bring it up myself and apologize before hand

Are you using a good camera (e.g. Logitech C925-e) vs your laptop camera? I found that also helps a lot.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan.

What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!
