re: interview over skype -- isn't there some better local connection, eg at a cafe or school or library? As an interviewer, I'd be willing to be flexible around scheduling if you can figure out a quiet location w/ better internet. It's frankly better for me: I'll have an easier time with your accent and get a better read on your capabilities.

Don't take this the wrong way, but you were born in Jeddah so I assume you're muslim. If I were you and considering living in the US, you'll do far better if you stick to the coasts. And probably better on the east coast (nyc, boston), just because there's lots of visible muslims there so people won't be freaked out by you. My country can be very islamophobic (I'm sorry).
