I know the pandemic changed a lot of things, but I always wonder how recruiters get to know the candidate without meeting in person. I’m not having a lot of luck with interviewing for remote developer jobs, and I know my awkwardness on screen could be contributing. Are there any strategies you're following to make your communication style and teamwork abilities genuinely shine? Please share any tips you have!

I try to smile and talk about things I’m passionate about when I get open-ended questions. I find that it makes me less nervous. If I may ask, why do you think you come up as awkward?

That’s a great, small tip to implement. Thank you
