A lot of places these days want to interview on Zoom, Facetime, or some other virtual/video platform. And this sincerely makes me so uncomfortable. I don't like being on a camera, it makes me severely anxious. I'm already anxious about having to do an interview, then add this on and it's like YIKES.

I prefer in-person interviews.

What is some advice for getting comfortable with this? I have two video interviews to do and part of me just wants to say forget it. Because I don't like doing this. But I also need a job...so...

Another struggle I have with this is the fact my family is SO noisy and it's so hard to find a time or a place to actually record without background noise. My room, which has its own little office, is right outside the kitchen. The loudest, busiest room in the house. Even when I shut my door it's doesn't help much. I have no idea what to do when these things want me to do video or voice recordings but I can't without noise pollution and so much background noise.

I can't go outside because it's too damn cold.
