Hi Reader, Here's something that rarely comes up in remote job interviews, but absolutely affects whether you get hired: Can we trust you with our data? No one asks it directly. But when a company is deciding whether to give you access to their systems, their client information, their intellectual property – all from your home network, your personal devices, your local coffee shop wifi – they're thinking about it.
