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?
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).“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.
