You mean a video interview? If so, how will you make sure it's steady and capturing a large enough part of your profile?

Unless otherwise specified, this should look and feel like a zoom call, not FaceTime.

Does the angle give a professional frame? If yes, than I don't see an issue

No but I would suggest leaving it in a stationary spot to avoid distracting from the interview

I've noticed some phones look and especially sound much better than some bigger devices.

Agree with C1 and TS1! Test it with a friend to make sure it feels like a zoom call not FaceTime, and if it gives you better video/reception, it is more professional not less. I would try to make sure the video is horizontal and try to prop it up higher so the camera is at eye level - which will probably make it easier for you too. Note though, if for some reason they would like to share their screen then it may be logistically harder for you. This may interrupt the flow of the interview...

Great point about the screen share! You'd have to pick up the phone and hold it close to your face to vote content, which would make you look absolutely ridiculous if video is still on.

I take a weekly guitar lesson from my phone because, according to my instructor, it is crisper and clearer than my laptop. Maybe have a friend help you by trying both devices on whichever platform you’ll be using? Also consider WiFi vs. data connection. Whatever was best in the test is what you should do for the real thing.

You guys are overthinking these things

No prior issues, well-liked, but the optics of the error were pretty bad in retrospect, so X respects & understands the decision made… any advice?

I was born and raised in Asia. The problem I see in Asian community is that there is an internalized racism against each other. Asia born Asians always have this complex feelings towards Asian Americans that were born and raised here. And many Asian Americans that I met somehow have unspoken pride over other Asians. Often times I feel like I am not represented because when corporate/newspaper refer to Asian hates they usually just mention Asian Americans. What’s your experience and thought?
