Am I crazy? I have a Zoom informational interview today, and I got dressed head to toe for it. Does anyone else do this? Partly I’m afraid I might have to get up and I don’t want to have on like pj pants or something, but I also hope that being put together somehow comes across in what I say. Anybody else?

Dress for success! I notice a huge difference in feeling better and more confident when I’m put together. It’s also good advice if you work from home at all. When I’d get up and get ready as if I was leaving the house, I felt a lot better for the day.

Thanks!

You’re not crazy. If it makes you feel better and more confident, go for it. I usually focus on my face, hair, shirt but I’ll wear whatever bottoms and shoes make me feel good. Before Zoom, I remember reading advice that you should dress the part for phone interviews so you’d come off professional.

So something crazy happened to me last week. I was at the airport, and as usual on call after call. The check in line was going ridiculously slowly and at some point turned threw my hands up in frustration while looking around to find another place to check in. In doing so, I catch the eye of the behind me. He smiles and says something. I just sort of nod and carry on with my call. After that, he keeps trying to talk to me, eventually I got to the check, say bye and leave. At security… tbc
