It’s ‘incredibly disrespectful’ to do a virtual job interview by phone — but Gen Z is doing it anyway

‘This has more to do with the technology they grew up with rather than a sign of respect’

In 2020, Jason Rogers interviewed for his first job out of college. It was a position as a content writer that would be completely remote. The interview would also be conducted remotely, and he decided to use his iPhone instead of his laptop. The front camera is clearer and he wanted more control over the angle, he told MarketWatch.

“I thought I was underprepared, but the setup was more solid than I imagined,” he said. “The pressure was different as well, since holding the device in your hand changes the way you hold yourself in the conversation.”
