How to Setup and Prepare for a Skype Video Interview

Are you being interviewed on Skype? Watch this video on how to setup your webcam and room to get the best picture. Follow this handy Skype video interview checklist below. CLUTTER You may or may not want to tidy up the background from any portraits or clutter that may distract the viewer from your interview. HEIGHT Be sure to make the camera height your head height or you may get an unflattering angle of your face. Also, remember to look at the camera and not the other person’s face. LIGHTING Make sure the lighting is not causing unwanted shadows or glare; turn on the lights, close the blinds if there are windows as the weather is subject to change and therefore natural light would be considered unreliable. SOUND Last but not least, find a quiet place, if you can turn-off your phone, a noisy fan or anything else that causes background noise. Be sure to sit still and closely to your WebCam/Microphone too. To look good, watch our wardrobe video to learn what not to wear; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6bxebd_a7o
