Am I the only one who has the rule of "don't do interviews naked ever under any circumstances" or am I just out of touch nowadays?

I’ll generally never get naked in front of where my webcam is, but I’m also fortunate to have enough space where I have a dedicated office separate from my living space.

Honestly, I’ve felt really weird the few times I wore a tank top, and it wasn’t even an interview.

All sorts of weird stuff happens. I worked for a place that used awful body shop contracts and people would play all sorts of games to sell fake candidates.

Usually the company would underbid to get some placements, and have a small, smart team back in India or Russia do the actual work remotely. The guy on site would be a fake person who would say yes to anything and ship work to the guys in the backroom.

The interviews were… interesting. People with disguises, dark rooms with grainy video feeds, etc.
