Haveo · Job interviews when they make you anxious
Video interviews
Turn off self-view and put your notes behind the camera. Watching your own face while being interviewed is a second task running the whole time, and it is the one thing a video interview adds that a real room does not.
Self-view first
Hide it from your own screen. Every platform allows it, they still see you, and it removes continuous self-monitoring at the worst possible moment.

Notes go behind the camera
Sticky notes around the lens, or a document just below it. Your six story titles and three questions — headings, not scripts.
Reading a script is visible. Glancing at four words is not.

Nobody reacting is not a bad sign
Video flattens the nodding and the small encouragements you would get in a room, so it feels like it is going badly when it is going normally.
Do not adjust based on faces on a screen. The feedback you are used to reading is simply not being transmitted.

Test it the day before
The link, the camera, the microphone, the light. Technical trouble in the first minute costs you the calm you prepared, and it is entirely avoidable.
Have a phone number as a fallback and say so at the start if you like.

One-way recorded interviews
Genuinely unpleasant, and widely disliked. Treat it as a rehearsal you happen to be recording: use your allowed retakes, and answer as though one person is there.

Rehearse it before you walk in.
