<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> With most technologies, my objective is to keep the setup as simple as possible. The candidate is usually focused on issues pertinent to the desired position. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My involvement is to determine if the candidate has the appropriate tools needed to conduct a video interview. Typically, I'll schedule time with the candidate at least 48 hours prior to the scheduled interview.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The video below speaks to a few basic steps the candidate can take to ensure an optimal experience.</span><br />
