Which are appropriate places to keep your notes to refer to during an online interview?
in front of the camera so the interviewer can read them too
on an open file on your computer
on a piece of paper
on your hand or arm

Answer 1

Select:
- on an open file on your computer — appropriate (keep notes in a window you can glance at; use a second monitor or place the window near the camera to minimize eye movement).
- on a piece of paper — appropriate (keep brief bullet points just below the webcam).

Do not use:
- in front of the camera so the interviewer can read them too — unprofessional and distracting.
- on your hand or arm — unprofessional and likely to create a poor impression.

Tip: keep notes very short (bullet points), practice with them so you don’t read verbatim, and position them close to the camera.
