I have an interview Monday and they want to meet in person, is it wrong if I suggest meeting over Skype or will that hurt my chances?

At this moment, your health is the top priority. If that company doesn’t understand your concern and value your health, you prob shouldn’t work for them anyway.

Nah do it, they're probably thinking the same thing but haven't gotten around to it. I'd look at it favorably, it's intelligent and proactive. Can't guarantee they'll be receptive but if not it's kind of a red flag anyway, isn't it?

I really wouldn’t worry about it. Things are changing by the minute, and your health and the health of those around you is most important. I’d respectfully ask. I understand your nervousness, though. Strange times.

I wouldn’t think so? When was the interview set up?

If it’s been on the books for a while they probably haven’t thought about it yet. Like others have said, reach out, and if they make it an issue, you don’t want to work there anyway.

There are a ton of posts on here about how terrible it is that some agencies are not mandating work from home. This is clearly one of those agencies, since if they want you in person that means their interviewers are in person.

In that context - you most likely don’t want to work there anyway.

If you go in person, you’ll prob get the job bc no one else will show!
