Join the call on time. Just because it\u2019s not in person <strong>doesn\u2019t mean you can be late.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>2. Turn your camera on. It doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re in the living room or your car, or even if you child walks around. It\u2019s normal for these things to happen <strong>when working from home<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>3. Think of you surroundings. You should be in <strong>a tidy area, but its more than fine to show personality<\/strong> such as your kids artwork, or an arts and crafts section.<\/p>\n<p>4. Let the people at home know you\u2019re on a call \u2013 this will help keep the <strong>noise to a minimum<\/strong> and will minimize any embarrassing moments.<\/p>\n<p>5. Try and stay unmuted, but if you\u2019re in a noisy situation beyond your control, <strong>hit that mute button!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>6. Focus on the call \u2013 it shows <strong>when you\u2019re checking your phone or your emails.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>7. Are you recording the call? Make sure that the <strong>people on the call are aware of this<\/strong> and the reasons for that.<\/p>\n<p>8. Be yourself. We all know that you are not in the office \u2013 so it\u2019s more than okay to <strong>show your true self.<\/strong> You don\u2019t have to have a white background or be seated at a desk, as long as it\u2019s respectful and courteous of the situation.<\/p>\n<p>9. Figure out where the best connection at home is and use that area \u2013 <strong>it\u2019ll make any call go smoother.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>10. Small talk is also okay. If you\u2019re a few minutes early or hang back after the call, it\u2019s perfectly normal to <strong>catch up with colleagues<\/strong> and have a chat.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay safe, and stay home.<\/em><\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/en\/rent\/properties-for-rent.html\">Click here to find properties for rent in Qatar<\/a><\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This article was published on March 30th, 2020 With so many people working from home at the moment in Qatar &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3732,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"translation":{"provider":"WPGlobus","version":"3.0.0","language":"en","enabled_languages":["en","ar"],"languages":{"en":{"title":true,"content":true,"excerpt":false},"ar":{"title":false,"content":false,"excerpt":false}}},"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3729"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3729"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3729\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6637,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3729\/revisions\/6637"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3732"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3729"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3729"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.propertyfinder.qa\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3729"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
