Get that sliding cover.
Keep it covered, turn your video on, and keeping saying "hmm, idk why my video isn't working, the camera is on"

Or just don’t turn it on.

I liked being on camera, it made me find ways to be creative w my hair or makeup or headwear every day. Then a toxic “mean girl” type manager complained to my boss’s boss because she didn’t like my facial expressions (not kiss ass-y enough). Camera permanently off now. 👎🏻

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
