That awkward moment in an interview when you have no cell signal and the agency’s WiFi won’t let you in, and you’re trying to show your Squarespace portfolio.

Screenshots, mocks, mood boards.... case studies...but you’re not wrong on offline files either.

Before an interview, I always keep my squarespace site loaded and ready to scroll through (my site is a single page long scrolling site so you don't need separate tabs for separate projects.) If they want to watch the videos I have them saved in a 'portfolio videos' folder in a finder window that's also already open in the back. I also open the different links in my book in separate tabs (about me, resume, side projects etc). It has worked every time, no need to rely on agency Wi-Fi! :)

I’m so sorry. I keep a PDF of my current work on my desktop for situations like this. I hope your personality and experience was enough for them to just take a look at your work later and not disqualify you.

Squarespace should create an offline viewer for exactly this situation. All other methods are hacks/workarounds. I pay them a couple sawbucks a year to use their platform, yet they intentionally won’t let me save an offline copy.

Sucks don’t it. Had this prob recently and the client was willing to shift to a different room where all was good.

I recently interviewed for a role at Goldman Sachs and completed all the levels. After the final interview HR sent me a link to fill out the Compensation Questionnaire and requested for related documents. Next day, another HR called me for some clarification and told me that they are going to request for some approvals. Does this mean I can expect an offer letter? If yes, how long will that process take?

By both “body positivity” challengers who too often say obesity comes from laziness and lack of strong will and by obese people who also too often shield themselves stating “this is how I am, it is impossible to change it” when in fact they do not want to accept that fat is literally killing them.
