    Oh yeah, make sure you are always looking at the camera and not the video/picture on the screen.
    Make sure it is quite ​AND quiet also, Krak.

    key pounding has its negatives when spell check doesn't look for grammar.

    I'm quietly, and quite quitting Qui Tam.

    Wear this:



    Make sure to turn your head a couple times to emphasize that it's a trucker hat version, that'll really drive home your point!

    1 White shirt and tie.
    2 Put your hair back in a ponytail.
    3 Trim nose hair.
    4 Don't check breath on camera.
    5 If you have a high voice, practice to achieve 2-3 octaves lower.
    6 No photos of JJ around to flush the deal.
    7 Wear catcher's cup so rooster doesn't flop out on camera.
    8 Don't have any thoughts of ever knowing Seawizzle or TittyWarrior
    or interview will immediately go South.
    9 Keep all opiates in Flintstone's Multivitamin bottles.
    10 Any drunken lap dance photos should be reversed showing generic
    happy family photos.
    11 Wear Kotex under armpits to prevent nervous perspiration stains.
    12 Wire from hidden car battery gripped secretly in left hand to prevent nodding out.
    13 No family members strolling around the house with underwear on their heads.
    14 Toothy smile throughout interview with pleasant pastel thoughts swirling thru your mind.
    15 Empty bladder beforehand
    16 Always use sooperlative adjectives.

    Also get a belt and a microphone. If you call the interviewer "Mean Gene" you'll get extra points, no doubt.

    Take your picture off the screen so you aren't tempted to stare at yourself the entire interview. I am naturally vain and struggle with this on FaceTime

    Use your computer, sit at a table/desk, wear a button up and maybe a tie, and no pants whatsoever.

    And check your background for anything embarrassing.
    I had an interview using Skype. I wore a button up shirt with a tie. I made sure I had a good background of the living room and that my cat wouldn't get in on the interview. I wore my shorts hoping they wouldn't move the video for some tour of my home.

    What are you interviewing for?

    Background should be a perfectly arranged bookcase. A family picture on it. Test it for lighting, needs to be bright and clean with no glare. You can wear a slighttt amount of make up on the forehead area to prevent creepy looking glare. White shirt and dark jacket and tie. Wedding band and college ring the only jewelry. Practice. Do not move around a lot. Confident guys make slow deliberate movements. FU'ps are jittery.

    Make sure you take enough opiates so you do not exhibit any withdrawl symptoms. Twitching, sweating, shaking, anxiety and irritability usually don't impress employers.

    Ok, interview done

    It wasnt bad at all. The hardest part is not knowing where my eyes were positioned on her screen, or where my gaze appeared to be. It was impossible for me to look at the camera, its at the top of the my 27" imac, her eyes were a good 5" below the camera, it was impossible to look at the camera and read her facial expression.

    The interview lasted about 45-50 minutes, conversation was easy, she asked the generic questions which I already had answers for

    Shes flying to Seattle tomorrow from LA for a face-to-face interview.

    She's ready to hire me tomorrow. Im going to tell her thanks, but no thanks. I have a great job and I cant get past the travel. I know how much they're offering, and I know what I make right now working 4 days/week, and the big bucks at the end of the rainbow sound sweet but Im not willing to miss out on every other week of my daughters life.

    My only advice for anyone going through a facetime interview, call someone the night before and ask them where your gaze is when you look at the middle of the screen vs at the camera. Otherwise just look sharp

    You want to look facetime sharp for the interview pal. Get them nose hairs trimmed. Get your eyebrows on fleek, get your nails did and hair done. LOL. If your an ugly person, make sure your personality stands out. If you have no personality and youre ugly af you wont get the job anyways, so dont sweat it

    If you're not going to accept, why are you doing this and letting her fly out?

    Demand $400k and extra vacation time. What do you have to lose?

    My mind is made up until she makes an offer to change it. This is part of her territory, and part of the job.

    Tomorrow wont be a wasted day if I say no, the PNW is the crown jewel for this particular device, so she'll have plenty of people to glad hand.

    Nothing. I'll tell you what I ask for tomorrow, and assuming I turn it down, I'll post the company name.
