Hello,
With the virtual setting, I find it is difficult to introduce myself as there is no room for handshakes. My interviewer and I have usually just exchanged pleasantries, and then jump immediately into the questions. Inserting a "Hi my name is X" seems forced and almost even pointless as they already have my file open and our names are listed at the bottom of the screen. It is bad to have not formally exchanged names/titles with the interview under these circumstances?
Secondly, what is the protocol for thank you notes? In the interview, there rarely seems to be a reason to exchange contact information, which means that I would have to look it up? Would it leave a bad impression to do so?
TIA
