I work at a summer camp and they hire me in January to do all the interviews. I love to Skype with the interviewes as much as possible. Not only do I get a better sense of who they are, I remember them so much better! A few Skype tips: dogs sometimes think there is a friend in the house who is not playing with them and start to bark so put a dog some place away from you Skyping, make sure the room you are in is picked up and not busy (I've seen 30 unmade beds this season alone), super personal stuff and pictures always seem weird to me when I don't know the person, and last, try it out with someone to make sure you are not to dark or the angle is right up your nose. If you need someone to try it out with, I'd be happy to run a trial Skype with anyone.
