    I am not sure about this but I would assume that it might be okay. I personally would recommend choosing another room to record in or move your washing drying to another area until you finish with the video interview.

    Some firms definitely do so make sure to check with the firms you have got an offer from! I know that Goodwin for instance offered accommodation for some vacation scheme students when I did my vacation scheme last year and I think that was really nice.
