Skype interviews

Anyone ever do one of these before? I'm BRAND new to Skype (downloaded it last night) and when it comes to video, I'm pretty much a Luddite.

Can anyone give me any tips?

You need to buy a third party program to copy the video, Skype doesn't do it. Those are kinda iffy, I'd do some research.

I don't think I'll have to copy and edit video.

I have done a few...don't like them...but it is what it is..

Roleplay in front of a mirror, try to keep a smile on your face

don't twiddle with your hair....act calm and exude confidence..

my T-Zone was really shinny..so, anti-shine powder dab here and there before it starts..
