Can Apple support turn off “Find My Iphone” for you? I need to turn it off for a phone trade it, but I don’t have access to the Apple ID for that phone. Submitted a request for access but it won’t take effect until 1/17, while I have to ship the phone out by 1/8.
Any other suggestions are also welcome.

I typed out all of my stories and read them directly when doing my interviews

This must have been the most interesting interview from the other POV. No one reads as fluidly as we naturally speak
Cheating is bad, but having notes is not cheating unless they are giving you a test / assessment / case study
"cheating" is a matter of perspective really, and I can promise you, most people than not use some kinds of notes/sticky notes/pages-stuck-on-the-side-of-monitor etc to get that upper hand in their career. Take the extra step and go hit them career goals mate!
You can have charisma via zoom but okay

Sticky notes floating above zoom, right below your webcam

I can definitely say I’ve been able to tell if people have been reading notes or using a calculator during interviews and it’s not a good sign

Got me through MBB interviews 🫢
Like…is it cheating to have slides while you present?
Chief
When you say “cheat” OP are we certain this is the case?
Unless you are instructed otherwise, i dont see an issue here.
If you’re just talking about having notes about yourself that you wrote on your own and having the doc open when the interviewer asks you questions - I don’t really think that’s cheating. Those are your own thoughts and most of the time you probably won’t even refer to them, for me it was just more of a comfort thing knowing it was there if I got stuck.
Notes show preparedness. Just don't come across as canned, and be ready for them to intentionally throw you off if you're too smooth
Chief
How are you cheating? It’s not a test lol, are you going to forget who you are when they ask you to tell them about your relevant experience?
That’s not cheating. That’s not even questionable or gray
It’s like…is wearing a tie cheating? Oh no
Bingo!
I would say using sticky notes is more clever way

Yea, go for it
