Good question.
In my case, I’ve always been good at in-person interviews. I’ll be nervous at first, but over the course of the interview, I can read the body language of everyone in the room and quickly get comfortable, and by the end of a successful interview everyone shakes hands and comes away feeling like I’m nearly part of the team.
On Zoom, it starts off the same way, but never gets better. I can’t really tell if anyone is really satisfied by my answers, and I’ll either ramble on, or end with “I’m not really sure I answered your question...”
At the end of the interview, they’ll invite me to ask some questions of my own, and I try to go in depth into understanding how they approach collaborating remotely. I feel like the answers are sometimes evasive and I come away wondering if my questions are too intrusive. Maybe a lot of teams have disagreements about this, and I shouldn’t ask them openly?
