Interview
I had just graduated with my degree and was still located out of state from where i was interviewing. The interview was via telephone and then a couple days later by Skype. I found it very uncomfortable while answering technical questions, on skype, due to the interviewer moving away from the camera and not knowing what was going on behind the scenes. The technical questions were also difficult to understand the way they were presented. Other skype interviews I have since had, were much better.
