Checklist: Level Basic
注意事项：基础级·
Take initiative. Learning to expertly navigate virtual interactions can take some time, especially if this is your first time communicating with a possible employer, scholarship interviewer, or admissions committee. Make things easy for yourself: If you are not given the other person’s Skype information, give yours and ask for theirs. Be sure to let them know you’ll be adding them to your Skype account a couple of days before the interview. This will prevent any last minute back-and-forth e-mails trying to coordinate username exchanges.·
保持主动。学好虚拟交流是需要花些时间的，特别是你在第一次和可能的雇主，奖学金面试官或者入学面试官进行交流的时候。放松自己慢慢来。如果你没有给别人你的Skype信息，那就和他们互相交换信息。确保要让他们知道你在面试前几天就加好了他们的Skype账户。这样能避免在最后时刻忙着弄用户名的事情。·
Check your audio and video feed. An hour before or during the middle of your interview is not the right time to check if you’re easily viewable and hearable.·
检查你的音视频效果。一个小时之前或是在面试进行中检查你的音视频设置可不是个好时候。·
Practice looking at the camera. This one might sound silly, but it's also my favorite. In a normal interview you’d be able to focus on your interviewer to maintain eye contact. On Skype? – It’s a lot more tempting to focus on what you look like on the screen or to look at the video feed of your interviewer. The real trick to eye contact on Skype is to look straight at the camera. Go ahead; test it out with a friend. I always call friends a day before, just to check my audio and video feed and to practice my eye contact.·
练习看着摄像头。这点看上去很傻，但是这却是我最喜欢的。在一个正式的面试中你要集中注意力于你的面试官，保持眼神交流。对于Skype，你在屏幕上的样子来的重要多了。Skype面试的技巧在于你要盯着摄像头。试试看，和一个朋友测试一下。我经常会在面试前一天找朋友进行测试，就是为了检查音视频效果和练习眼神交流。·
Dress for success. Don’t give in to the temptation: dress professionally from head to toe, not from head to waist. As the member of a scholarship interview committee, I had a candidate who wore pajama bottoms, assuming we wouldn't see them - unfortunately the candidate didn't test out before time the angle of their camera. Needless to say, the interview got off to some awkward beginnings.·
成功的打扮。不要放弃这样的尝试：从头到脚打扮，而不是从头到腰。作为一个奖学金申请面试官的一员，我曾经碰到过一名面试者穿着睡裤，估计他想我们看不见他穿的睡裤，但是不幸的是他没有测试摄像头的角度。不用说，这样的面试开头都很尴尬。·
Close other programs in your computer. Having Facebook, Googlechat, or Twitter in the background is distracting—especially if a sudden pop-up window throws you off in the middle of the interview. Want to take it to the next level? Print your notes instead of reading them from the computer. Your eyes look lower than the camera when you're reading notes from a document in your computer. Definitely something I found out while giving an interview on international politics. Thankfully the interview wasn't live!·
把电脑上的其他程序关掉。要是把脸书，谷歌聊天和推特开着是非常分心的，特别是有弹窗在面试一半的时候突然跳出来。你想上一个级别？那就把你的笔记打印出来而不是读电脑屏幕上的。你在读电脑上的笔记的时候你的眼睛是朝下的。这是我在一个国际政治的面试中碰到的。幸好这个面试不是实时的！Checklist: Level Intermediate注意事项：中级·
It’s all about the visuals. This is like dressing for success, only Level 2. Your space matters. While your initial reaction might be to just worry about finding a quiet space (like your room), neutral should also describe your surroundings. Ensure your interviewer only has eyes for you—not a messy stack of papers and clothes, or a collage of posters.·
视觉感受很重要。 这就像成功的打扮一样，只是上了一层。你的空间很重要。你的初始反应可能是担心房间是不是够安静，中性也可以描述你所处的环境。确保你的面试官只会看到你一个人，而不是一堆的纸头和衣服，或是一墙的海报。·
Your profile is your firm handshake. Your interviewer isn’t first introduced to you, so much as your username and profile. Much like you might have heard to keep a professional e-mail, the same applies to a Skype username (with an appropriate profile picture). Feel free to divide your professional from private life now. After all, usernames are free!·
你的姿态就是你有力的握手。你的面试官一开始没有介绍给你，而是你的用户名和资料。你可能听说过e-mail要写得正式，Skype用户名也是一样（附有合适的用户头像）。自由切换你的正式场合和私人生活。毕竟，申请一个用户名是免费的！·
Don’t be afraid to smile. Body language is a little different on Skype. While speaking with your hands can be a little distracting, a smile can go a long way. Through all the nerves, remember that a Skype interview is still very much like an in-person interview, only with a few more technical bugs and less hand-shaking: smile, you’ll make it through.·
不要害怕微笑。肢体语言在Skype上有点不同。当你用手做手势时会有一点分心，一个微笑就足够了。尽管会紧张，但要记住Skype面试仍然很像一个面对面的面试，只是多了一些高科技的元素，少了握手罢了。微笑，你能行。
Checklist: Level Advanced
注意事项：高级·
Expect the best. Plan for the worst. If you’re comfortable and in the same country as your interviewer, offer a phone number in case technology isn’t on your side. Better yet, if you’re in a different country from your interviewer, ask for a number you can use in case the internet drops. Invest in a little bit of Skype credit, buy a phone-card in advanced, and keep both handy always—you can always call if the internet fails, though most scholarship and admissions committees will take care of that for you.·
期待最好的结果，做最坏的打算。如果你觉得可以并且在同一个国家的话，你可以给面试官留一个电话号码以防出问题。最好的是，如果你和面试官不在同一个国家，问一个你可以用的号码以防网络掉线。在Skype上花点钱，提前买一张电话卡，做好两手准备。哪怕网络不行你也可以打电话，尽管大多数面试官都会注意到这一点的。·
Internet down! Don’t panic. While hosting a Skype interview as part of a scholarship committee, I saw a candidate show poise and graciousness in spite of some technical bugs. When Skype failed in the middle of a key question, the committee called the candidate by phone (which she had provided just in case), who then proceeded to reassure us that it was fine, reminded us of our question, summarized some previous points and continued like a pro.·
网络断了！不要慌张。当我在面一场奖学金申请面试的时候，我看见一位申请者在出现一些技术问题的时候仍然保持了镇静。当Skype在关键时刻出问题时，委员会就通过电话面试（她当时预留了电话号码），她之后表示这样没有问题，提醒我们之前进行到了哪里，总结了之前的观点，像个专业人士一样接着说。Remember, a Skype interview is still an interview: All the typical formalities apply! Prepare your notes and questions; follow-up to thank your interviewer; and get a good night’s rest the day before.
记住：Skype面试仍然是面试。传统面试具有特征它都具有！准备好你的笔记和问题；向你的面试官表示感谢；还有前一天要保持充足的休息。Have any questions or tips of your own? I'd love to hear them. Feel free to ask me or share anything, from how to stop saying 'Hmm' to dealing with technical issues.你还有什么问题或者建议？我很乐意听。随便问我或者告诉我，从如何改掉说“呃”到技术性问题都可以。
