Available Remote Screening times will be listed on our Eventbrite website.

Note that an Eventbrite ID is NOT REQUIRED!

 

At HIS Sign we like to know who is representing us and while certification or a screening level is a good measurement of general skill, it is not a defacto qualification to provide services in all situations.

 

We will have you participate in a screening interview, either remotely or at one of our offices.  You will be recorded during this time for further evaluation.

 

Remote Screening Minimum Requirements:

• An active Skype account so you can connect with us via our “HIS.Sign” account.

• A robust internet connection that will support video for you to be recorded.  To meet this requirement you would typically need to be home.  Most “free” internet access (like at Panera or Starbucks) is only appropriate for email and does not support video adequately.

• Approximately 1 hour of free time in a quiet location that you can dedicate to the screening and not feel rushed.

• A device with speakers and a microphone.  You can use an iPad, a PC, a Mac or any other device you are comfortable with.  Bear in mind that you will be watching a video so using a phone is NOT recommended.  We ask that you verify your speakers and microphone in advance of the screening and recommend that you use a headset if possible.

• A device on which you can access your email and that will play a YouTube video.  During the screening interview, you will be sent three emails which will contain a link to YouTube videos.  This requires that you can play the YouTube video on the same device you receive the email note.
