An Edge Above

As our digital ecosystem continues to progress, more and more employers are beginning to integrate new technology into their everyday workflow. Videoconferencing and interviews via channels like Skype or FaceTime are becoming increasingly popular because they can provide more insight for an employer regarding whether or not a candidate is a good fit for the role.

Using Skype for an interview is also a great resource for employers who are looking to hire remote or international workers that would otherwise require costly airline, train, or lodging fees.

Everyone stresses over going on interviews. Whether it’s your first time in the hot seat or you’re an interview pro, it’s okay if the nerves creep up beforehand. After all, interviews are essentially what makes or breaks you. While a resume gets your foot in the door, how you present yourself and whether or not you make an impression on the hiring manager, can ultimately determine if you get hired.
