    What do people say when they get into the interview room (zoom room) with the assessor. I always tend to say an awkward "Hi..." then trail off? or am I thinking way too much into this?

    “Hi, how are you?” That sort of polite chit chat - which in the uk usually tends towards commentary on the weather on that day - allows me to settle in, figure out if the volume is ok, where I should be looking, etc. It also reminds you that you’re able to connect on a human level, even if you’re nervous about comes next.
    I like “Hi! Great to meet you. How’s your day going so far?” It’s polite, enthusiastic, and gives your interviewer the chance to talk about something easy (how their day is going).

    I really wouldn’t worry about this. The interviewers won’t be expecting anything more than a hi and a smile.

    Addleshaw AC, my first ever AC invite! Date given was next Monday which I can’t do because it wouldn’t be sufficient notice for taking annual leave at my current job, I clicked the button stating I can’t attend then, will this be looked down on?
    Hey, congratulations! Can I ask when did you submit your app and when did you complete your VI? Thank you!
