-1

Now a day’s MNC’s demand a skype interview, which is more desirable than traditional face to face methods, thanks to our technology for this upgradation. It not only saves time but also a lot of hassle.Though some people find Skype interviews very comfortable some just get apprehensive hearing about it. Below we share some tips on how you can nail the Skype interview –

  • Professional Name – This is the most important step, make sure you have an acceptable name and not a cheesy name like the_rockstar. A big no!
  • Profile Picture – Your picture speaks a lot. Have a nice, professional looking picture which shows your face clearly. A selfie or a party picture is inappropriate.
  • Time Zones – Ensure your time zones are correct, it is always possible that if you have a Skype interview you will have a different time zone from that of your interviewer. Be double sure about timings before fixing the interview.
  • Practice It First – As it is said practice makes you perfect. Your first few video calls will make you feel awkward as you figure out where to look, what to do with your hands, or how loudly to speak. But it can become easy with time; you can conduct a practice interview session with a friend
  • Avoid Technical DifficultiesEnsure that your internet connection works properly during a Skype interview. It is difficult to have a discussion if the interviewer is unable to hear you due to technological interruptions, this will put an impression that you are unreliable.

 

  • Look Into The CameraSome people fixate themselves on the computer screen which gives the impression that the candidate is not making an eye contact with the interviewer. When an interview starts, relax and make sure you look fine on the screen, and then focus on looking into the camera..

 

  • Be Enthusiastic Skype interviews often make people nervous and dampen their personality. You should make an effort to smile whenever possible and be pleasant, but make sure you don’t overdo it, this way you will surely nail the interview.
