You can highlight your proactive nature by reaching out with a well-thought-out "Plan B."

Protecting yourself and those around you should outweigh any concerns you may have about making a bad first impression by requesting an interview accommodation.Īnd while I do recommend you do whatever makes you feel safe, there is definitely a right way to ask a hiring manager to make an exception to their standard process. While every situation is different, I think most employers would agree that during a public health crisis, safety and self-care always win.
And tomorrow, we'll discuss how to prepare for a video interview. Today, I'll offer some advice on the best way to request a virtual interview (and what to do if your request is denied). Employers like Google and LinkedIn have, for the time being, moved all in-person interviews to virtual interviews, with others sure to follow suit.
Public health concerns are also quickly changing the way we meet, network, and interview. Handshaking is out, hand washing is (very) in, and for those who are able, many employers are recommending-or, in some cases, requiring- working from home.

Fears over the novel coronavirus, COVID-19, have already resulted in significant changes to the way we go about our daily lives. We are officially living through some pretty scary times.
