The hottest ticket in town is always Oprah’s “Favorite Things” show, when she gives away thousands of dollars of really cool stuff to everyone in the audience.  (I know I want a ticket to that one.)  One of the things she’s highlighted is a webcam from Hue HD (it comes in bright colors, has a bendy neck so you can easily get the best angle and lighting, etc.).  If you aren’t lucky enough to get a free one, though, it’s definitely worth the investment. 

Why buy a webcam? points out that you can use them for talking with friends, sending immediate pictures, or even showing an item for sale.  Children would be more interested in talking to friends and family online if they could see who they were talking to (think of the grandparents). 

Of course, what we’re most interested in is using webcams for job interviews.  Having a webcam allows you to practice your presentation skills on your own before you speak in front of an interviewer.  Record yourself, play it back, and catch every time you say “um” or “like” or display other nervous habits that could ruin your opportunity. 

Don’t forget:  Interview On Demand’s website offers tips for online interviewing, and practice time before each interview so that you look professional, capable, and right for the job.
