Your history shows instability amongst the previous employers (hence the layoffs). This is a strong argument for you to ask _what future this company can offer you_. In fact, put it in writing - a big fine in case you choose to depart, but also in case the company cares to kick you out;-)
Anyway, all the other prerequisites apply too ofcourse, so make sure you look good - we've learned it makes about 90% difference....
Sure, public VoIP should eventually be encrypted. However, most networks are nicely built using switches, rather than hubs, so as long as the networks you pass have a trustworthy management there is little worry. And you can bet IBM does not intend to link their VoIP systems over public internet links. If only for the complete lack of QoS:-)
