Interviews

Has anyone ever heard of an interview over skype? I got contacted from a recruiter wanting to do an interview over skype. Is this legit?

Yes, it makes it feasible to do long-distance interviews.

Pants, optional

Yup, well video conference in general. I had one a couple years ago, not on Skype. I had to go to a local facility with a Cisco/Tandberg setup and the people interviewing me were ~800 miles away at their facility.

I apparently chose the wrong option during my last interview

I've had one before that went well.

Just make sure you choose a professional background when you do this! Nobody wants to see your dirty laundry in the background.

Make sure your two year old doesn't run in your office yelling "daddy poo poo...." That happened when I was interviewing one of our potential techs.
