Organizing skype calls/chat logs for interview

[Sweetmelissa 82]

I found this neat little program (its free) for anyone who uses Skype as a means of communication- it basically creates a log of call durations and chats to print out, without actually recording the content of the chat. I made a little sample to share, it ends up looking like this (I blacked out our names for obv reasons):

Thought it might be useful for others as well- it is super easy to use and set up. For skype chats, the "Action Type" just says "Chat" along with a date. The URL is http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/skype_log_view.html.

Melissa, how do you do this if you Skype on your Xbox One or on your phone?

I am not sure, I only use my computer for Skype.

You probably can not.....doesn't matter as the info demonstrated does nothing to prove a legitimate relationship......it only establishes that the two chat names contact each other a lot.....who know what they talk about?????....maybe Tiddly Winks and nothing about a relationship.

This is why I suggest folks purposefully generate all sorts of evidences.....and draft a letter for the interview that can be titled Evolution of Our Relationship.

In this letter you will describe the first meeting and how the relationship grew (normally following a usual path and dialogue) and then agreement to meet in person...then talk of marriage and immigration and life together in the US. All the while you would point to specific evidences that bore these facts out...copies of specific emails where you had a specific discussion, etc etc.

It's all about content,,,,not quantity.

Obviously it shows nothing more than contact, but its a cleaner/compact alternative to copying, pasting and editing pages of Skype messages for those would like to include something similar. It is nothing more than a secondary evidence supplement for a package that should be filled with numerous pieces of quality information. Your letter suggestion may also be something that others find useful, so thank you for adding that.

It actually doesn't establish anything as it can be easily faked.

Isn't that true of most evidence of an ongoing relationship? If you don't have physical snail mail letters or phone bills, it's very difficult to provide evidence that theoretically can't be faked.
