🚨Video Interview Disaster?  How to Stay Calm When the Unexpected Happens! Picture this – you're all suited up, hair on point, your background is clean and professional, and you're ready to crush that video interview. And then… BEEP BEEP BEEP – the fire alarm goes off. Yes, it happens. Life happens. And trust me, noise doesn’t care about your big moment. This exact thing happened to me today as I was about to record a video (fire alarm testing at my building, thanks for that), so I figured why not share how to handle this gracefully if it happens to you during an interview – because you can turn this disaster into a moment of poise. Here’s the play-by-play: 1️⃣ Prepare Ahead – Check your email or building notices to prevent surprises. And for heaven’s sake, schedule interviews when your neighbors aren’t testing their smoke detectors. 2️⃣ Keep Calm and Carry On – If the unexpected happens, apologize politely. Explain the situation and that it’s out of your control. Most interviewers will understand. 3️⃣ Ask to Reschedule (If Needed) – Whether the noise is nonstop, or your nerves are frazzled, it’s totally okay to request another time. Employers want to see you at your best. 4️⃣ Have Backups – Think of quiet places you can quickly relocate to if chaos strikes (like a friend’s house or even your car). Always have a Plan B for noise, internet outages, or other curveballs. 5️⃣ Mute Is Your Friend – If a fire alarm goes off mid-conversation, mute yourself when the other party is speaking to minimize distractions. The key here? Professionalism under pressure. Smile, laugh it off, and show the interviewer you roll with the punches. They’ll see you as someone who can handle stress with grace – and who wouldn’t want to hire someone like that? P.S. If you’re not landing 3-5 interviews a week with your resume, we need to talk. Schedule time to speak with me and let's strategize your way into your dream job and for more money. Until next time, stay calm, cool, and collected… even when life gets loud.
