Make sure your face is as close as possible to the camera when you begin and yell as loud as possible into the microphone so they can hear you. They are probably pretty far away, since you’re doing a Skype interview, so they need to be able to hear you

Have a board in the background which has a list “next person to kill if not got the offer”
I’m sure the interview will be easy!

If you're using a laptop, make sure it's head-level rather than below your head and pointed up at you. This will be more flattering. Try not to have a bright window behind you being your only light source. Consider investing in a headset (~$30). It will drastically improve your voice quality.

I’ve had Skype interviews as well and practiced them over Skype as well just to get comfortable with it. I found that you need to explain really clearly and be articulate about what you’re doing and why, as you dont have your notes in front of them. Same goes for nonverbal communication, try to put effort into getting across that you’re a great person ;)

Wear shirt and tie. Pants are optional. If they want to go deep into skills then it gets interesting.

Use Skype

I once did a Skype interview where the candidate had a flipchart next to him and drew some charts and examples on the fly. I found it extremely impressing !

Smile when you talk. Will make you sound affirmative

Currently self employed for a year to work on investing. Do I literally need a partner level referral to get back into Audit? I thought there was an accountant shortage.

I’m hoping a better written resume will help target algorithms to get my resume viewed for other roles.

Curious to hear how others create a SOW for a video where the concept isn’t created yet. e.g. a startup asks for a proposal/estimate for a 60-second brand video with little input and a vague budget range. We’ll create the concept and produce it. My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?
