Hi, I have an interview with a school tonight. They want me to login with a skype account and password that they are providing. I have never heard of that being done before but maybe it is more common these days in parts of the world and I just do not know? Just wanted to hear your thoughts. Not sure if it is some scam, not sure how that one would work if it were indeed a scam. I really have no idea, so again, thoughts are welcome! Thanks.

There’s no need to do that. I’ve done skype interviews with China and my account worked fine (…or well enough).

On the other hand, maybe they’re trying to do that for a more reliable connection. With the interviews I did, we almost always had to resort to audio only interviews.

You could also download WeChat…because if you’re planning on going to China, you’ll almost certainly be using it a lot anyway. The English version works. You’ll need to download it on your phone before you can use it on a tablet or computer. And make sure you create a password.
