Skype interview
Newsflash: they can see you – and everything/everyone around you. Watch your background. Things that you thought were off-camera will sneak into the frame. Test your camera and do a trial run to see what they can see when they are Skyping you. We have sat through many Skype interviews where the candidate had done such a lousy job of lighting themselves for the camera that it was almost impossible to recognise any facial features whatsoever. Just a voice coming from a dark patch on the screen. No one is hiring that. Fix your lighting . . . and check your sound while you are at it.
If you don’t use Skype regularly, allow plenty of time to get logged in. Skype has a fairly regular habit of upgrading the service which requires you to install a new version and remember the original password you set and haven’t used for two years. This is the last thing you want to be doing when you are ten minutes away from the interview start time. Sort your tech out plenty of time in advance.
While you will be tempted to look at the interviewer’s picture on your screen, remember that you only make eye contact with them when you look at the camera. Put a sticky note beside (not over!) your camera with Look Here! written on it to remind you to maintain eye contact.
Once you have all this sorted prepare for this as you would a face-to-face interview.
