I just got contacted for a phone interview with a Princeton alum (I am an int’l). I don’t think a phone interview will work well for me tbh. I know I will get really nervous and it’s just not the same as actually seeing the person you are talking to. So do you think it would be rude of me to ask the interviewer to Skype me instead of calling?
I think you need to accept the interview option presented to you.
I think it’s perfectly fine to ask if the interviewer would be willing to do skype while emphasizing that you’d be happy to conduct the phone interview as is, too.
