jen85 Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi All, Just wanting feedback from anyone who has undergone a skype interview for a UK job before returning and it was actually successful, I'm just trying to assess whether this is an actual option for me or not. Bearing in mind I'm a Aussie however dual citizen, not sure if this has an impact on the way they will consider my application. Thanks :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Hi, yes it is... I am Australia/UK dual citizen after listening to people moaning on here about lack of jobs in Australia I changed my original plan to come back without a job and started applying from the UK. I had 4 skype interviews and was offered two jobs in the end. *** update **** sORRY i Misread your going the other way.... it should be simular tho dont see why its not possible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kay Dee Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 My friend's hubby was on a working holiday in LA recently and, whilst there, he had a Skype interview for a job in Edinburgh which he subsequently got :smile: Good luck! :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Geordee Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 My OH is in IT project management and applied for about 3 jobs in the UK from perth. He only heard back from one, which was a university, did the interview etc and got the job. We worried that employers may be put off by it, but I actually think its the sector you're applying to. I used to work in higher education and its the norm to recruit specialities from overseas, so I'm sure that helped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bythesea Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I got my job out here via Skype. Only thing I would add is that you have to be a bit more disciplined in waiting for the other person to finish before you start answering compared with a face to face. I "drive a desk" for a living and normally wear a suit. I had an interview at midnight (my time) and wore my suit and tie. The interviewer who is now my boss was surprised but I would rather have been over dressed than under dressed as impressions count and bad impressions count more....

fourcorners Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I had an interview via skype to come over to Oz. Got a job offer but decided to go for another job with whom I'd only had a telephone interview. If you do get a skype interview, make sure you position your computer well with good light and an uncluttered background. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Had several and received several offers based on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jen85 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sounds promising, how long did everyone start applying before they intended to move? I was thinking maybe trying in Feb just before I get there in March at least if I can start the process thats something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
