Today many companies use Skype to arrange an interview with potential candidates, especially if those are based abroad. There are also companies who are looking for remote workers and in this case they use Skype to arrange interviews and meetings. So today I will give you six tips that will help you to master your Skype interview. The first thing you should do is to set up ahead of time. Make sure that you've downloaded, installed and tested Skype at least one day before the interview. Test your microphone. The sound should be clear without any hums and buzzing. I recommend you to buy a microphone so your sound will be perfect. Check if the picture is clear enough. It shouldn't be very bright. I recommend you to have a couple of video chats with your friends in advance to make sure that everything works properly on different systems. You should dress to impress, not to destruct. It is so important to make a first great impression. So you should dress appropriately and wear formal clothes as you would for any normal interview. For example it can be a formal suit or formal dress for the girl. Darker colors usually work the best on the camera and if you are a girl I don't recommend you to use any glossy lipstick or wear a sparkly jewelry because it can be distracting. The first thing the employer will see is your Skype username and profile picture. So make sure that both of them are interview appropriate. But if you want you can create a separate Skype account which looks very professional. Be afraid to create some notes and have a copy of your resume next to you during the interview. The advantage of Skype interview is that you can have your own cheat sheet in front of you and when you forget something you just can have a quick look into your notes and continue your story. But don't look into your notes all the time. Don't read your papers because you will lose connection with the employer. It doesn't look professional and it will reduce your chances to get a job. It might feel awkward but when you have an interview you should look directly into your web camera not into your screen as you have to maintain the eye contact with the recruiter. So here is a pro tip. Put a stack of books on your table and place your laptop on the top of the books so the web camera is at your eye level. It will be easier for you to look directly into the camera. Try to eliminate all interruptions. Let everyone in the house know that you will be in an interview. Turn off all notifications. Silence your phone. Close all messengers. And if you have any pets in your house make sure that they are outside the room and they will not disturb you. When you finish your interview don't follow up on Skype because it looks very casual and informal unless you are asked to do so by the employer. The best way to follow up is to send a nice thank you email which will impress much more. So guys these were my 6 tips that will help you to master your Skype interview.

Bye-bye.
