How to conduct a virtual job site survey.

1. Before you begin – open all doors inside of the office or space. Anything that is to be packed and moved – we want to see in the video.

2. Use a cell phone, tablet, or digital camera with video capabilities– use the device’s built-in video. Hold the device with two hands not far from your chest (do not hold your arms straight out) keep your elbows bent – this will help with stability and keep your video from appearing blurred.

We need to see all the rooms and their contents!

3. Turn on the video sound. It’s not required but is helpful. Announcing each room’s name and point out all items to be moved, is helpful.

4. Start by standing in the middle of a room. Pan the room you are in, Move S L O W L Y either side to side or in a circle – capturing all the contents in the office space and rooms, e.g., TV’s, conference table, pictures on the wall, desk, chairs, lamps, file cabinets, anything that is going to be moving, we want to see! Don’t forget to show the inside of the breakroom cabinets.

VIP Offices
Game Room

5. When you enter a room, announce the room name, e.g., “VIP Room,” “Conference Room #1.” Speak clearly; if in President’s Office, say one leather couch, two desk chairs, and one 55 inch Flat Screen TV. If in the Conference Room, say eight conference chairs, etc., We are looking for sizes, bulky items, high-end items needing special attention to packing. We are also looking at the path of travel, narrow halls, the width of doors, ceiling heights, stairs, and how many floor levels. It’s helpful to say these items are going. This particular item is staying.

Keep in mind. The video does not need to be perfect. We will ask questions after we review it.
