I like to be naked from the waist down so I can play with my bits during the interview.....

Got an NCIA video interview later today. Will get the same as any other interview, quick brush of the hair and a (fairly) crease free polo shirt.

Under the desk....pair of shorts and bare feet

Just make sure you are not nude. That's all.

So, what was the question again? Is it from a newbie contractor?

Apparently one of the Universities that went to on-line lectures earlier in the year had to e-mail students reminding them they had to put close on when joining lectures.

A tie conveys the message "I care a lot about things that don't matter, and probably not enough about things that do"

True confidence is shown by wearing - and doing - what you want.

Really? Looking presentable and speaking well go a long way. Having pride in your appearance shows more confidence than looking like a depressed out of work kid.

Alternatively, the interviewer wanted to prove to other people that they weren't joking when he told them someone actually turned up for a Zoom interview with a man bun

Possible. I'll blame the man bun if I don't get the job

Had 1 zoom interview some days ago and I was wearing a blue polo shirt. The only effort I made was to put my hair up in a man bun but just because I look like Charles Manson if I don't. Got invited to a second interview already so I know dress code is no issue.

Between beard and long hair I currently can choose from:

- Man bun, which makes me look like a w4nker
- Pony tail, which makes me look like a paedo/bulgarian java developer
- Untied hair, which makes me look like Charles Manson or Jim Morrison before he died

I wore suit and tie at interviews only at the beginning of my career when I was in my 20's. Didn't have anything else to offer so couldn't afford to be scruffy.

The older I get, the less I care about dress code. I just let my work and experience speak for itself. Jeans and shirt is as far as I push it.

I guess it depends on the industry and your experience but I think I have a different mindset if I'm smartly dressed. So even if I were on an audio only interview, I would still be smartly dressed if only to help me become the more professional version of myself.

Surly women just need to decide

Boobs out on display or boobs hidden

Bloody fashion guru!

Not any more...

And anyway, when the current generation of team leaders grow up in a few more years and start hiring, none of it will matter anyway and candidates will be wearing nappies and rompers!

Suited & booted for interviews, always, unless specifically told otherwise.

Yep.

I had an interview last week and got the job.

None of my interviewers were suited and booted, but I was. It felt right and I didn't regret it - I was the one who needed to impress after all. They need to think how this person will look representing the company in future.

What you wear is largely irrelevant. How you wear it is the important bit.
