Video chat interview

Technology is all a little bit confusing.

Today I had my very first 'video chat interview'.  What is a 'video chat interview', I hear you ask?  Well, it's when you have to hook up your computer to some 'remote' thingy and then you get to see someone on a screen asking you questions and you have to reply.  It's like an interview.  Except you're not talking to a real live person. You're talking to a face on a screen, asking questions that have been pre-recorded on a video thing.

You still have to get all dolled up in your interview gear, because after all, you're on show on a video screen.  And what is even worse............... you have to clean the house because the remote interviewees want you to be in a calm environment.  Ie, they don't want to see your dirty dishes in the sink behind you.

Mmmmmmm...................  Apparently it's very easy?!  For all of us over 50's almost 60s it's a total nightmare.  I tried to do it 2 days ago.  I couldn't make the link work.  I phoned my very techie nephew who said, 'All you have to do is copy & paste the link into Google Chrome'.  Mmmmmmm................Tried that.  It didn't work.  I'm not completely useless - I know what Google Chrome is???

Fast forward to today.  I tried again......................

..................And this time (haven't a clue how) I managed to access the link.  #Iamatechiegenius

Unfortunately, my techie skills are NOT VERY GOOD?!!

During my 'VIDEO CHAT INTERVIEW', I'm pretty sure I managed to record myself slagging off the company I was applying to for a job.  I told them that they had no personal service, their interview procedure was a joke and even if I got a job with them, I wouldn't want it.

Unfortunately I have absolutely NO idea what I have sent this company because I haven't got the 'techie' skills to 'SAVE' stuff on an external website.

I'm absolutely fed up with having to do everything single thing 'on line'.

Please, please, please, just bring back a teeny, weeny, little bit of personal service.
