Anyone ever interview via video conference at their current place of work? Other than getting caught obviously, is that tacky? The lighting and space is perfect!

This sounds like an incredibly bad idea. Also, if I were the other company and knew that’s where you were doing it from, I would question your judgement

Are you 100% certain nobody is going to come in and interrupt you asking if they can have the room since you're 1 person in it and they need it urgently for a team call with the client, or to say they thought they booked it and create a whole conversation about it? I'd never risk it because of that alone. I'd rather go home and be focused and at peace.

I’ve done it and regretted it. Couldn’t focus for fear of someone popping in. Spoke in an awkward stage whisper. Looked over my shoulder too much.

Find a quiet hotel lobby nearby. Less private, but you’ll be more relaxed

Whoever said employers don’t care about grades and transcripts after your first job was a liar. Every lateral position that I’ve applied to as a 3rd year has requested transcripts. Why do we lie and tell grads that employers don’t check transcripts when they do. My coworker, a 5th yr, had to submit his transcripts also to lateral job. Side note - it speaks volume when multiple associates are trying to lateral at the same time
