Hi there, I am looking for some social skills advice. I’ve been working remotely for so long that I noticed my social skills have seen a severe decline in my latest in person team events (eg I zone out unexpectedly, not really sure what to say at times, the usual zoom habits that aren’t obvious through zoom, etc). Any tips on how to recover from this quickly?

Hey everyone,
I have a second round interview with a saas company selling education software. This interview will be a 30 minute zoom call with the VP of sales. I am someone from a non- traditional background with 2 years of sales-ish roles but no experience in tech sales and no straight forward sales job.
I did a tech sales bootcamp. Im just worried about what questions he will ask me? Im thinking more technical in terms of sales processes and even sales funnels? Any thoughts?
