The training was designed to provide practical tools and strategies in order to overcome a telematics interview cannot interact directly with the potential employer. We worked on topics as diverse as, the different platforms for video conferencing, analyzing the strengths and weaknesses, through the control of the space where they were having the interview, noise control, clothes, or profile on the different platforms, to reach the way of presenting oneself.
