Have you taken any screener interviews while in office?

I have one tomorrow although I specifically told the recruiter I wasn’t available (because I’m in office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays) 😑 Not sure if I should make up some excuse to WFH or just take the screener in office.

Don't take the screener at the office. Even if no one hears you, you'll be nervous and not at your best.

Today I told the recruiter “I’m hoping to do more [ something my office doesn’t ] so I respond to your email” when the managing partner came out and said hi to me…

Don’t do it in the office. Don’t be me

I hope I better get the position lmao

I know. I am so dead

No one will hear. It’s only a screener - just trick the recruiting department into thinking you’re remotely normal

I mean, your office door locks right? I think you can take this from the office if needed.

Just step outside or go to your car. I took a screener in my office once. Lmaoo

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
