Is it acceptable to take the first recruiter call from a car? A recruiter from an agency I like has reached out to me, and the availability she gave is while I’m on PTO and will be driving (as a passenger). Any thoughts and advise would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Happens all the time. Would recommend telling the person up front so they know that you’re available, but that there may be some background noise.

Agreed 100%. Just be open and honest and the recruiter will understand

Definitely tell them ahead of time, and make sure to find out if they need you to send anything before the call! No use trying to force a tethered laptop to go quickly if there's no data signal.

All the time! I do this myself. I think it’s very important to say it up front though so expectations are set. But don’t worry, it’s very normal. Especially these days!
