Skype Interview Questions

Skype interviews are more common in various sectors, and job responsibilities as technology advances and virtual employment are adopted more widely. Skype is a virtual meeting program that enables distant interviews through computer or phone instead of in-person appearances. An interview through Skype should be handled the same way as one in person.
