What’s wrong with this picture?

If you are going to be speaking online, please consider these basic tips…to make you LOOK better.

  1. Before you speak, look at yourself. You may not like what you see. [Sorry.]
  2. NEVER sit with your back to a window during the day. As you can see, the camera in your computer will not show your face clearly.
  3. Find a plain background, or create one.
  4. Even though you can speak with or without your pants on (I suggest that you do have them on), your shirt/blouse is important and should not be a distraction. Solid colors, except white, are best. Keep your pockets empty and avoid jewelry (unless you’re known for your glitz).
  5. Before you speak, look at yourself. [It deserves to be said twice.]

Just because you are home doesn’t mean that you should look like you just rolled out of bed. First impressions online mean as much as they do in person.
