I had 3 video interviews last month and finally got an offer. wanted to share something small that actually helped Before I was using laptop webcam and every interview I felt self conscious, the angle from below, the grainy quality, looking washed out. Hard to feel confident when you look like youre in a hostage video lol Spent $70 on a nice webcam before my next round of interviews. Plugged it in, auto exposure handled my weird room lighting, looked way more professional immediately The interviewer in my final round literally said "nice clear video" at the start, small comment but it set a good tone Obviously skills matter most but removing variables you can control helps with nerves. webcam was easy fix Good luck to everyone job hunting rn
