I did everything on my work computer - including resumes, apps, interviews, offer letter sign lol. No issues

Hmm no chance of getting caught I guess lol

Not ideal, but many do the same. It is better to keep your work and personal life (including job searches) separate.

No need to worry at all lol

I’d say your chances of “getting caught” are super slim but if it makes you nervous, recommend iPad + Bluetooth keyboard as less expensive option (vs new laptop)! Think my iPad was like $300

As an alternative, you can use your phone to do zoom interviews. Just download the app it’s all very easy.

Thanks for the tip though

It is fine - good luck, OP!

Did everything on my work laptop.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?
