    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

                Yes. With a chap in Singapore. Quality of the line was awful. Needless to say I did not get the job.

                  Had one for a gig in Düsseldorf, think I documented it here - got the contract but turned it down. Wish I'd gone now....

                    What's everybody's take on where to look during a skype interview?

                    If I look at the person interviewing me on the screen, then the person looking at me sees someone not making eye contact and looking a bit shifty (well in my case anyway).

                    If I stare at the camera on the laptop, then the other person could think that either:-

                    a) Positive, engaging, blah, blah

                    b) pyscho who thinks they're on TV, and is not even looking at me


                    Is their any etiquette for this kind of thing?

                      Yes.
