Background check - J1 getting me interviews (how to handle it in the future)

Hey everyone,

I’m currently interviewing for J2s to eventually become my J1. My current J1 is low-maintenance and perfect for stacking, so I plan to keep it.

I’ve realized that my interview success depends heavily on the "brand" on my resume. When I used a contract role, I got interviews but no offers. Once I swapped it for my current, more reputable J1, the engagement has become significantly stronger and I feel like I'm finally close to an offer.

My concern is the long-term resume narrative. If I land this J2, I’m unsure how to structure my resume moving forward to keep getting interviews without creating background check issues:

  • How do you handle the BGC without it flagging concurrent employment?
  • If I drop J1 from my resume after the BGC clears, does that create problems down the road?
  • Is it even a bad idea to be interviewing with J1 on resume if I plan on stacking?

I've read that its not a good idea to have J1 but its getting me places now...

Anyone with experience can help me here please?

Thank you!

How to Pass Mock Cold Call during an Interview? Can't get an offer...

I've been getting to final round interviews consistently but keep coming up short. My gut says it's the mock cold call portion.

Here's my situation: I have inside sales and account management experience, but it's all B2C or relationship-based. I've never done formal SDR-style cold calling at a B2B SaaS company.

Two things I'm trying to figure out:

  1. How do you actually structure the mock cold call? Is there a framework most interviewers expect?
  2. How are you practicing it before interviews? Tools, reps, roleplay with someone?

I have outbound experience and can hold my own in a conversation. I just haven't done the polished SDR opener/pitch format they seem to want in these interviews.

Appreciate any real advice from people who've been through this.

I was going to purchase the duo pan cam but realized that pan cams have the drifting issue.

I had this issue with the solar cam so I know its probably the same with other pan cams. Is anyone else having this drifting/calibrating issue repeatedly?

I was thinking about the Cam v4 need a outdoor power adapter for weather purposes?

Thank you in advanced!
