How do you guys do reporter intro interviews on zoom? I’ve only staffed calls up until now where it’s less awkward to just lurk. Do you just turn off your camera and let them chat?

Yup that’s what I do. Unless I know the reporter really well.

Yes I turn off my camera so the focus can be on the spokesperson. I turn it on briefly to chat if one person is running late.

Not everything has to be on zoom. A lot of reporters are grateful not to have to do this.

Any tips for how to stand out when submitting resumes online to an F50? I have started sending my resume to in-house jobs and it’s hard to even get a response from most listings. I have tried being targeted (e.g., applying to in-house M&A roles and not just any in-house role) and adjusting my resume for particular listings (e.g., highlighting experiences of interest to the company). For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.
