Would anyone go in for an interview during the pandemic? If they ask you to come in, what would you say?

I went into 1 in-person interview last week. (Orange County, California). I was definitely surprised they were doing in-person interviews- with masks.

Turns out, the whole company is back at work in the office, wearing masks, but breathing the same recirculated air. Company is a very old school mentality. I don’t feel comfortable being in an office 40+ hours a week at this point, with case numbers rising.

I wouldn’t really have a choice since I dont have a tech design job right now. Im still protecting myself when going into the city.

I sure would! I would be safe with mask and gloves. Social distance, no hand shaking, come home take off the clothes and take a shower while waiting for the call with an offer! I like to eat, have lights, cable, internet! I sure would go!

Is that what you would tell someone that wants you to come in for an interview?
