Using work laptop for interview?

5 replies

I literally have a brick laptop from work but because I don’t know what teachnology the interview school have tomorrow for the interactive boards it’s the only one I know has all the random gizmo ports that could be needed for it. As my Apple laptop doesn’t have half the ports needed for an interview and I don’t wanna run the risk of getting there and being told we don’t have the facility to use this and then wasting time.

What do you guys think?

They may not let you connect to their network.
Normally they tell you if there's one available, but take yours just in case.

All I need is the ppt. Hence why I figured it might be a good idea to use it as I have no ports on my Mac that would work with school systems

Definitely skip the Mac!

Email the ppt to yourself so that you can open it on whatever computer is in the classroom you’re teaching in.

email it to yourself - but make sure you can access your email - or take a 'stick' to back it up (e.g. use a work email rather than a yahoo.. or check with the school it would be 'openable' )
