I’m supposed to fly to Seattle for a job interview next week. They said we can move the interviews to Skype if I feel unsure with the virus. Not sure what to do?

You can call the recruiting manager and ask if she’s asking because she suspects partners that you’d be meeting with will be working from home. If that’s the case it might make sense not to burden them with having to come into the office. But if she’s asking just for your benefit, I would go in person. It shows you’re excited to move there.

Absolutely - risks are hugely overblown to you personally but there are others who take them more seriously than they should; if they will be deciding on your job, you might as well pay due deference.

Everyone is going to get it. Presumably you are relatively young and health. I’d go, but probably avoid visiting my grandma right afterwards.

The impression you make in person cannot be replaced by video conference. If this is a job you genuinely want then I would take the risk and interview in person. I’d wear a mask if you have an N95 or N99. And like others have said, sanitize as you go. I’d wipe down the entire seat area with wet wipes. I personally don’t feel like this is the time to be sheepish about being a germaphobe in public.

I also live here and would echo loudly that that does not seem likely.

Some people are working from home. Everyone is washing their hands more. People apologize whenever they sneeze or cough and follow very quickly with “I swear it’s not the virus.” Otherwise it’s any other March in Seattle, albeit somewhat sunnier than usual.

So it’s an in-house position. The hiring manger reached out directly and said the company had optional work from home. I asked if people would be in for the interview and they said yes but it’s up to me.

Curious how other people’s brains work.
When you get an activation brief, what’s your process for coming up with a solid idea?

Look for cultural moments that you can adapt? Look through award show books? Scroll YouTube videos until 3am?

I know that every brief and every idea is different, but I’m more interested in the process and what you’re creative routine is to get the wheels turning.

Thanks.
