[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would up going about an hour per Skype. You will want to do several interviews (3-4) with the AP that makes it past your initial interviews. Scenario questions can help you get a sense of judgement and maturity (e.g. the two kids are arguing over a toy they both want and the doorbell rings, what do you do? Or it's time to come in for dinner and one child does not want to come in and starts to get what do you do?).[/quote]

This is waaaay more than we do and we have had two great AP's so far.

I'm glad it works for the PP but I run out of questions for the AP's after 15-20 minutes. Two skype calls is enough for me plus a few email exchanges (giving them the chance to ask questions they forgot during the skype), sending photos and sample schedules and giving them the Whatsapp of our current AP and encouraging them to ask anything they want. I also enlist the current AP and tell her to be completely honest so there are no surprises.

Just wanted to give a different perspective so the new HM doesn't think she is failing if she doesn't do 4 one hour skype sessions.  [/quote]

We also only do two Skype interviews. The interviews do tend to last 30min-1h through. [/quote]
