I haven't heard much about the Skype pre-interview. Does anyone know more about that? Are they common?
I'm not sure if everyone receives the same email but last year we got one from Harj Taggar to setup a video call. They wanted to:
1. "Give you a heads up on the kinds of things likely to come up for you specifically at interview".
2. "Let you ask us any questions you might have about YC".
It was a 5-10 minutes thing.
Interesting, thank you. Was that after they had already invited you out?
Yes, a week or two after being invited.
Thanks!
Never had a pre interview before my interview. I think it may be if YC wants to understand something about your application that isn't totally clear, before making a judgement on giving an interview.
Thanks, that makes sense.
