The video call service allows several people in different locations to engage “face to face” with one another, using devices’ webcam and microphone functions.Regardless of the distance between interviewer and interviewee, a video interview can be just as worrying as a face to face interview situation, and comes with its own range of potential issues which could negatively impact the interview.
These might include poor lighting, a bad internet connection, and awkward interruptions by other people. Therefore, it can be argued that Skype interviews require just as much, if not more, preparation and forethought before the interview is set to commence. Considerations spanning timing, your profile, technical aspects, professional appearance, and the environment that you are calling from should be well-thought-out in advance.
