“Class was very accessible, and I learned quite a bit. Stefanie and Tara's approach is gentle, which is great, because people, especially women, often feel self-conscious on Zoom. This class definitely made me feel more confident!”

trustworthy and capable in the eyes of colleagues, clients, and potential employers!

Gain a competitive edge in a crowded job market.

Camera skills set you apart in virtual interviews by capturing attention and leaving a favorable impression.

Demonstrating a strong camera presence:

  • showcases your adaptability and tech-savviness (essential skills in today's digital world)

  • positions you as someone who can thrive in a rapidly evolving professional landscape

  • helps you build a positive digital image, enhancing your professional identity and expanding your network

  • can lead to greater career opportunities and professional growth

While we can’t write your resume for you, we CAN prepare you for the multiple rounds of interviews that will be taking place online. You have just a few critical seconds during introductions on camera to nail it!

Recruiters and HR leads want to know:

Are you a professional? Just like any face-to-face interview, the person on the other side is looking to determine your trustworthiness and reliability; make sure you’re calm, straightforward, and share a bit of your humor.

How can they tell? The ways you establish that rapport on camera are similar to an in-person interview where you dress professionally, show up on time, smile, and engage. Our impressions in a virtual setting are just as important.

Often, people who would otherwise be very intentional with how they dress, present, and organize themselves for face-to-face meetings will throw everything they know about making an impression out the window when they present themselves online. Even for an interview!
