Video Conference for the Uninitiated, Part II

In the last post I talked about my first introduction to video conference and how it came during my first week of work in a new job. I had come to this new, large corporation from a much small company in a very small town. I had made the big move to the city because I knew that I had achieved everything that I could where I was and if I wanted to really realize my potential I had to take a leap of faith.

This new job posed many challenges for me. I was trying to get used to a new way of life in a new city and I had hit the ground running in a position in which I had much to learn. The first thing I had to learn was how this new company went about meeting with clients, vendors and even new prospects. They were large enough that they were conducting business on a global scale - with companies all over the world. It was not efficient to travel to all of these physical locations so they used a variety of teleconferencing services including web conference, audio conference and video conference.

Video conference would be the first technology that I would I have to learn right off the bat. I was going to be meeting with a new client - new to the company and clearly new to me. I had everything prepared for the meeting; it would be my debut on a number of levels. I had assumed that the client would be coming to us because they were across the country and no travel arrangements had been made for me. Instead I learned that video conference would be our mode of meeting and I made my debut in an online meeting space. This was a great way to get accustomed to the new way of doing things and begin to make my mark in this new and exciting world.
