Interviews

Hi there! I just wanted to ask whether somebody has had a skype interview yet and if yes, was it with video or was it juts a voice call?

I was waiting for someone who actually had that type of interview to pipe up, but since no one did, I’ll give my perspective as an interviewer.
When we interview our preference (and the college’s preference) is 1) In-person 2) Video Skype and finally last resort 3) Phone Call

My personal reasoning is mainly because it is much easier to have a true conversation in person. It allows you to ask us questions and us to ask you questions much more fluidly. It also lets us see the passion on your face when we talk about a subject you really care about.

Thanks for the reply!
