Answer to Question 1

Answer: B
Explanation: B) What the interviewer sees behind you can be as important as what you are wearing. If possible, use a business office or a conference room. If you don't have access to a professional environment, position yourself in front of a neatly organized bookshelf or desk.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: C
Explanation: C) Recent studies show that it's more difficult to appear likeable on screen than it is in person. This makes it even more important that, in addition to making eye contact as mentioned above, you sit up straight, smile, and lean in toward the computer to look engaged. Sit at a comfortable distance so the interviewer can see more than your head, and use normal gestures.
