The worst mistake you can make on a Zoom job interview: ‘It’s the first thing that occurs and it never goes well’

As the class of 2021 plans to graduate next month, many college seniors are worried about landing a job amid the pandemic and an uncertain labor market.

That’s in spite of the fact that this group ดาวน์โหลดjoker of graduates deserves credit for finishing their studies in circumstances their soon-to-be colleagues never had to deal with when they were in college.

These seniors spent the past year braving isolation, social distancing, and investing in an expensive education that in many cases ended up being a hodgepodge of virtual and in-person classes.

“For those who are graduating this year, I feel really bad for them,” Jason Kaminsky, president and CEO of Bizjobz, a national recruiting firm based in New York, told Yahoo Finance. One big way they’re at a disadvantage is the fact that, once hired, many of them will be working virtually.

“It’s very difficult for young professionals to learn when they’re in an environment that’s not conducive to learning, which is their home, which is maybe their parents’ place, kids are fighting, the dog barking, you might have a sibling with you. And you’re just not learning the basics that will really propel you for your future,” said Kaminsky.

So where does that leave this year’s graduating seniors?

For one, the labor market is showing signs of recovery – the unemployment rate in March dropped to 6% from the pandemic record high of 14.7% in April 2020 – and many companies are offering paid internships.

According to a March report by the National Association of Colleges and Employers, companies plan to add 7.2% more college graduates from the class of 2021 to their payrolls than they did from the class of 2020.

Graduating seniors may be well-versed in video-conferencing tools like Zoom and Google Hangouts by now, but a job interview done virtually still takes some getting used to. Here are a few common mistakes to avoid, according to hiring experts.
