The online interview was interesting for me, as far as the interview went, I would say it is more like a normal interview. The questions were thought provoking, I made sure I was using PAR stories to answer questions and I did what I could to bring the questions back to my resume.
The things that were interesting or almost weird to me were the things that weren't in the dialogue. In the room that I did the interview in there was a light with a ceiling fan, the light was behind me and as such it made it look like the top of my head was shining, if I have to do an interview over Skype I wish make sure the room is well lit and that the light is in front of me. I will probably sit in front of a blank wall so that the things that are in the room don't end up distracting from the interview.
I also noticed the there is not as much room for hand gestures, where if I want to gesture I need to bring my hands up near my face and I feel that if I do that then I will be distracting from the interview. In order to preserve the same level of interest I found that I would use more facial expressions. Yukio, the person I was paired with, noticed something that I do that I want to change, the problem that was identified was that when I think of how to answer and when I start answering a question I tend to look off screen or away from the person. I will be sure to work on this so that I can have the most successful interviews that I can./
