Mine have been video interviews mostly. I'm not going to sit on camera at home drinking while potential future boss is sitting at work watching me lol.
I think I'm rare here, but video interviews for me have been like... once. And it was a formality after I'd already been in and met more senior people and already basically been offered the position.
It's either video or phone for me. Not going to spend $6k to fly me out based on resume alone. Personally, I prefer video over phone. It's easier to talk for me then. Phone is more weird because I feel pressured to not have a bit of silence. But on video, it comes more naturally.

Try to control phone interview as much as possible.

Mine is normally phone or flight. The video step just never seems to happen.

Same. I've had a couple recruiters want to do a Skype with me, and I've always said no. They aren't even potential employer so not sure why they want to Skype

I usually listened to some slow jams and love ballads before an interview.

I'm getting ready to apply to a new company with a much better position.
Here is my resume prior to sending this out to them .
could you read through it and tell me what you think before I send this in to the hiring manager? -
Your resume should be tailored to that specific job. Can't tell much without seeing the ad and job description. Who knows what the position you're going to apply for is and if it's a good match for the skills and experience you list.
You should begin with fixing typos first though.. -

are there any other ones?personal labs isn't a proper noun, I wouldn't capitalize it unless you are referring to a product called "Personal Labs".

could you read through it and tell me what you think before I send this in to the hiring manager?I dislike using the phrase "personal lab" on the resume. It's great to test things in a lab and talk about that during the interview, but on your resume you should just list it as experience. Then if they ask about it in interviews you can tell them how you did it in your lab.
I also feel like it's scatter brained, and the order makes no sense. Put what you care to show off to your new job first on that list. If you put network devices as your first point, they are going to assume (rightly so) that it's your strongest topic. So you better know it inside and out.

Do you really want to highlight hardware installation as your main qualification?
