[QUOTE="Alice G, post: 29096, member: 1160"] To kick things off here are a few tips: 1. Make sure your name in a group meeting is definitely your name! If other people in your household have used the device before you then perhaps their name will default in Zoom or whichever service is being used. It is also possible that you might have your surname as your defaulted name so really make sure that your full name is onscreen and if you prefer to use a different name to your legal name, which might have been on your app, make sure you put the preferred name in brackets or something and explain that is how you would like to be referred to for the session if possible. The more clear you can be the better and you can easily adjust your name in Zoom and the like. 2. If you have a complicated name or one which is tough to pronounce, we have found it is so effective when a candidate introduces themselves upon joining the call and repeats how to pronounce their name really clearly. Not only does this show confidence and give you a chance to make a strong first impression, but it really helps HR and the rest of the group too so they can be confident in speaking your name correctly. 3. It is great to build on points made by others or to congratulate people on a good point in a group task as it can show your team working skills and camaraderie. Always try to refer to someone by their name though as it is much more personable. There is a huge difference between saying 'building on that point' and 'building on that great point made by Jaysen...' This is also why it is super important to follow points 1 and 2 so that people are able to do this more easily. [/QUOTE]
