I'm supposed to have a video interview at noon today. I don't want to do it from my work desk, so I figured I'd go somewhere in town that has wifi. There isn't a single Starbucks in town, so the only public place for me to get wifi is McDonald's. Will I make a bad impression from conducting a video interview from inside a McD's? lol

what about a library? They often have small rooms you can use. Your home?

Only do the video interview from a McDonald's if you don't want the job.

Starbucks has better wifi and is a lot more respectable for conducting business, but it's noisy. use the library, or do it from home. Just not in front of a pile of laundry and put the dog outside.

Your house or somewhere private? No. From McDonalds? Good luck getting that job.

You really need to ask that?
Yeah... real bad. There has GOT to be a better place for the interview.

It's about noon here CST. This OP is either failing right now or winning. Video interviews should not be done in public places.


*edit. The post is from yesterday.
