Technology allows us to communicate with one another, no matter the distance. When conducting business and an immediate response is required, this can be accomplished through a text, email or phone call. Remote meetings offer the convenience of conducting business when bad weather prevents travel or when budget constraints prevent travel. Two months ago, i had my first remote job interview via Facetime and before this interview, i had several other job interviews over the phone, with the VA. Both methods of interviewing were convenient for me, as i am a single parent on a budget, so i saved money on gas, food, and the babysitter i didn't have to hire for the day.
