Yep the time difference is one hour ahead out here.

As for the skype interview, my only advice would be to talk in a measured voice, don't babble in case the connection is dodgy and your words get lost, don't wave your hands about lots as that's really distracting, and take a few seconds before answering each of their questions. If you are prone to nerves maybe hold a stress ball on your lap - make sure it's out of view of the camera! - and give it a quick squeeze if you need to calm down.

Oh, and make sure you have a neat background! Employers won't be impressed by a pile of washing or dirty dished behind you, nor a messy desk!

Best of luck!!

When I had a recent skype interview, I placed the computer on the coffee table and placed post it notes at each side giving me hints on questions and answers that are likely to be asked. 
I know that sometimes nerves makes the mind go blank, so the notes were there as a safety blanket.  It worked out ok for me.
Good luck
Regards
