In this CareerTalk mini-episode, we talk about an observation I had while shopping in the grocery store during the COVID-19 crisis, wearing my medical safety mask.

During that excursion, I had the odd realization that even though I couldn’t necessarily see the other individual’s faces, I pretty much could tell whether or not they were smiling even with their mask covering their face.  It occurred to me that this had an application in the employment world too, both for phone interviews and for video interviews.

Listen to this short mini-episode on how this realization can apply to your own virtual interview process.

The question is… are you smiling?
