Hi Rafic,

As Robert said is fully up to you. From my side I would recommend video conference and about the platform - using PL is ok, also you can use Skype or Zoom. There you can always make a recording and then analyse yourself as a third party.

Hope it helps,

André

Hi there Rafic,

Any and all options are acceptable - as long as the other preplounger agrees!

Also, remember, make sure you generallly know how to give a case and provide valuable feedback!

Hi Rafic,

  • Video vs. phone call > your decision, but if internet connection is allowing it I would always go for the video since it includes an additional communication channel
  • PL function vs. other platforms: I am using mostly Skype - was facing too many issues with the built-in functionality - but again up to you and your interviewer partner.

Summary: Completely up to you and your preferences - just use whatever works best for you, nothing right or wrong!

Hope that helps - if so, please be so kind and give it a thumbs-up with the green upvote button below!

Hello!

I would suggest Skype (free, unlimited, works well, you can record...)

Cheers,
