It’s customer rep role, it’s a zoom meeting too but I’m just not sure if checking for VPNs and stuff is a thing for these interviews… Is it unlikely? How did you do it?
I’d suggest getting a sign that says “I’m not in Argentina!”
In the past I worked on a call center, and even thought it was remote. They will know if you were working from a different country, even with the VPN activated.
Also play gunshot sounds in the background.
I’m clueless myself too. I guess I’ll find out tomorrow lol
I am aware of that. Yes, I meant US jobs. Unfortunately I don’t have work permits anywhere else so that’s what I’m stuck with. I’m willing to say at least 99% of remote US jobs require you to be physically somewhere inside the country.
I’ll send my legal address where in live in the US.
I just logged in
Man unless it’s a very small company, they wont be checking to see where you log in for an interview
Also unorthodox for them to check your work environment
Nah, throw them off even more. A sign saying: I am not in Thailand.
But then have background noise of people speaking Thai.
Read the saved post. Basically you can get a cheap mini router and use it as a vpn server by setting it up at a friend/family members house. Your ip will just be their residential isp one and won’t be flagged as a vpn. Maybe still possible to detect not sure but much less obvious
It’s not that strange IMO. They likely want to see your desk/home office area.
Thanks for the follow-up, and yes I can imagine most US jobs expect you to be in the USA. Good luck with your interview.
You’re right, I guess I’ll just have to see what happens tomorrow.
My boyfriend at the time is an IT, and Wireless Networks are his area of expertise.
I was working for an account that already have being involved in several major scandals due privacy breaches. Therefore, I guess their security system was a bit top level.
Ah ok right. Yeah may still be possible to detect but I I guess just decreases the likelihood. Wouldn’t want to rely on it if I was working for a bank or something lol
