I hate interrupting people on online meetings but when someone audio is breaking up how and when do you jump in and say something while being respectful?

Now that you mention it, I haven't run into that in a while. But when it would happen with someone I'd be meeting with I'd instinctively fall back on creative hand signals. I'd put my hand up to interrupt, or point to my ears, lol. I guess it could come off as rude, but it's just a technical glitch that has to be dealt with, it can't be taken too seriously.

Run into tech issues a lot lately. Just last week, we were having connection issues already, so it was already kind of established. I just said Oh, sorry, you are breaking up. I’d rather be told asap so I can fix, or just so I don’t have to totally repeat myself, but never know how others feel.

It’s not being disrespectful to stop and let them know. It would be worse to allow them to continue and no one speaks up and the person goes unheard.

I never even thought about this being rude. As soon as I realize, I immediately interject with a quick" Oop! I'm not sure what is going on with our sound, but I can't hear you very clearly." Now I hope I haven't come off as rude in the past lol

I'll let them finish their comment if it's relatively short. But I won't let someone ramble unintelligibly for minutes at a time if their audio is terrible. There's nothing rude about it IMO. You're saving them time.

Hi
Applied for a position in Johnson and Johnson Canada. Reached the final round 3 weeks back. After not getting any updates I emailed the HR a couple of weeks back. They responded back telling me that they’ll have an update for me the next week. Again I emailed them on Thursday asking if they have anything for me before the long weekend ( Good Friday & Easter). No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data.

Is this a lot for an interview?

Since iOS 14 changes, Facebook ads isn't the same anymore. Why?

A. >75% iOS users denied tracking. They are no longer tracked across websites/apps. Facebook lost its edge.
B. Targeting and conversion tracking aren't as effective anymore.
C. Many advertisers have been migrating their budgets from Facebook to Apple and Amazon ads.

What's your experience? Let's all learn.
