Video Conferencing
I have an interview coming up in the UK (I'm in Oz) and they would like me to organise a video link up. I have a wee bit of knowledge about computers and such but I'm no tech-head...
Was wondering if any Expats had interviewed by this method to get jobs before coming to Australia? I have a laptop with a webcam - would this be sufficient, or am I better off trying to locate professional facilities? Does anyone know if there are places (such as schools or unis) in Brisbane/Gold Coast area that might let me hire their facilities? (Although it would be a dodgy time of night)
Any advice most appreciated...this could be my ticket to relocating at last and even though I'm going in the opposite direction I'm sure there are plenty of people on here who can appreciate how I'm feeling!!! :scared:
