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

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

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

Originally posted by PCTNN View PostHad 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.

Originally posted by PCTNN View PostI 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.

Originally posted by ladymuck View PostI 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.

Originally posted by WTFH View PostSuited & booted for interviews, always, unless specifically told otherwise.
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.
