Have a Skype interview next week but it falls during my working hours. Should I just book a meeting room for it? Also, should I expect my work laptop to be monitored?

I’ve done it a million times on my work laptop in a conference room and I have never had a repercussion from it. If you can get out, you could always rent a breather room nearby and you will be more relaxed.

I too have interviewed on my work laptop. Don’t think the agency monitors unless they have reason to. If you have been unethical (I.e. working for the client on the side) or if your machine is stolen. You could probably interview all day and porn all night and they would not do anything.

Who cares! I never get paranoid about this, cause if they find out maybe they’ll give you more money or try to fix things. They won’t fire you for going on an interview.

Also I’ve brought my work laptop to interviews many times

No! And yes.

This is what dentist appointments, kids, maintenance at home (ex. Cable guy, plumber, if you rent it’s even easier, etc), or you just book the room because it’s nbd

Flex time. Tablet. Phone room. Nearby co-working space. Don't stress.

Skype on your cell phone in your car or a meeting room. Never laptop.

That’s how I got laid off from my last job. Learned the hard way. Don’t take dumb risks like that
