My skype interview on Thursday went pretty well.
Let me just say though, skype interviews are so unnatural and awkward..!
I was looking up "Skype interview etiquette" online before I had mine on Thurs and getting a whole lot more nervous just about the fact of it being on skype.
You are supposed to look INto the camera, so as to make it seem like you're making eye contact.(try it, it's really unnatural). Also I learned that you should in fact wear what you'd normally wear to an interview (top AND bottom), just in case you're computer should fall or something else...wouldn't want to be caught in sweatpants. That would be sad, not to mention embarrassing.
Also learned that lighting is really important as is the background.
All that to say, I got really nervous and it turned out way better than I thought it might. The woman was super nice and we didn't have any technical difficulties like I was worried about. It was a 15 minute timed interview and I had two minutes to answer each question (which for me was more than enough time). It was just her interviewing.
The next day I heard back that I DO have a second interview.
This will be with more people and more like a traditional interview (so I was told).
It will be early in the week perhaps Tuesday.
I'm excited!
But I also don't want to get my hopes up. Really trying heard not to get my hopes up, because I know how these things can go...
In other news, I got a violin. I'm renting to own and trying to teach myself. We'll see if that actually works out for me or not. ha.
It's fun! But hard. But I didn't exactly expect it to be easy.
We will see........
