Overheard at Table 5: Skype Interview

Michael:  ... so this recruiter wants me to do a Skype interview before she'll send me to meet with the client, and I'm wondering 'Why do I have to do a Skype interview?  Isn't a phone interview good enough?' and I try to get her to 'fess up about it, that it's really about seeing me and making sure I'm not freaking hideous, but she gives me some BS about how it's 'standard practice' and so I'm like 'OK, what the hell'. . .

... then, as I'm waiting for her to Skype in, I look at her LinkedIn profile and holy shit the recruiter is STEAMING HOT!  Then I'm like, 'Oh crap, now I'm really in for it, because on Skype you're always looking down because the camera is above the screen so it's naturally going to look like I'm staring at her cleavage!

How in the hell am I supposed to handle this?

How did they handle these things in the old days?
