Are you preparing for a Skype job interview? This lesson is packed full of tips to make your interview a successful one! I share my years of experience working on Skype in order to answer all your questions, and eliminate any doubts you may have about your upcoming interview. I cover everything you need to know — from avoiding technical issues to preparing so that you can give your best performance during the interview.
I thought it was much easier to use this application software, however the technical advice is practically a must to get better results.
The tips to get the most out of skype were the best part of this video lesson.
Great video, but a hands-on lesson would it be much better.
Thanks Jade for sharing your experience using Skype.
Regards
Regino

What about Question #5? Is there a mistake in the answers? My answer “true” was wrong
danger86
Hi! There is nothing wrong with the quiz. Jade advised not to use it, because then they can’t call you. http://youtu.be/Cu_mQsWJA_Q?t=11m33s (If the link doesn’t work properly it is on 11 minutes 33 seconds)
sergey92
Exactly, if you put your status to ‘busy’ then they can’t call you.
Jade
I made the same misteke as danger86. I think it’s a tricky question. :)
tughan
If you call, then you can put busy before call.
marcobrevi
No, there’s no a mistake. Your answer is wrong because you have to set your Skype status to “available” BEFORE you start the interview. If you set your status to “busy” BEFORE the interview, the interviewer might think you’re not available to talk to him/her.
junior1601
The first advise was to check the timezone of the interviewer. It means that yo are calling him.And to protect youself from unnecessary calls you set up the “Busy” status. Correct me if I’m wrong =)
danger86
You have to check the timezone, because you need to make sure that you’re going to the interview on time; you’re going to be there at the right time of your appointment, because it’s important to get a good impression by being on time. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you’re calling the interviewer. She says you can ignore the people who are calling you during the interview. Another thing you can do is to set up to “busy” as soon as you start the interview, not before.:-)
junior1601
You are a Skype expert Junior! :)

Thanks, Jade. I’m flattered by your comment :)

Hi Jade, well I scored 8/10, two wrong answers. Firstly, on the 2nd question, because I hadn´t put a great deal of attention, to the word “shouldn´t” and I answered “use an ethernet cable….”. Secondly, on the 4th question, my answer was “… Because Skype interview and real life interview are the same”. The truth is, you don´t “shake hands” but you will say “hello”, and for me that have the same meaning, I guess.

You have to read my questions very carefully or else these small mistakes can happen. :)

Hey Jane, I just signed up on this site. And I just had a look at all the different teachers. In my opinion you have by far the most proper and nicest English accent of all of them. I really appreciate it. I also like Benjamins English, but you tend to have some special way of forming bi-vowels.. What kind of accent is that? It’s close to standard English, isn’t it? I am planning a language stay in the UK, where can I go to get this accent?
Best regards, Lukas

Hi Teacher, i am new comer so I saw your video and I very like it, Thanks for your support.
Zalaand
Thank you for those useful Skype tips, Jade!
I’ve got a question on the expression “dramatically improve”.. Is it a common & a neutral expression? It seems that from the point of view of the semantics, “dramatically” means something bad, while “improve” on the opposite means something good.
So is it a common & neutral way (or rather a bit sarcastic) to say:
“The headset with an extending microphone can dramatically improve your Skype call quality..”?
Thank You!
Protey
Hi guys, my advise is to keep the captions on the youtube player (CC button) always switched on. It’s really useful thing, especially when you’ve some problems of understanding Jade’s pronunciation.
