Can I wear a very formal dress (with a blazer) to a Super Day interview? Or does it always have to be a suit?

Yeah if it looks good and you feel good in it, you'll be great.

As long as it looks like a business dress and not a "going to a wedding" formal dress. A blazer doesn't automatically turn an outfit into a business outfit - quoting my personal stylist who pulled me together several years ago 😋

If the dress is a plain a line with clean lines and a minimalist look it should be ok, i.e. doesn't have lace, frilly edges, chiffon, not silky/satin looking material. if it does, ditch it.

Agree with @ZS! If you feel good it'll make you more comfortable.

@C1 : I'd rather not 😂😂

@D2 : Somehow, for interviews and stuff - I've always worn suits (pants or else skirts) and I have this new dress that I really wanted to try wearing for an interview. Just wasn't sure if it would be appropriate for a Super Day, since I'd never done it before :) But this makes me feel better. I'm definitely wearing the dress now :) Thanks so much!!

@EY1 : That's actually a very good point. It's like an A line silhouette dress. Knee length. Now I'm confused 😐

Get it girl!

Hi I’m a current Graduate student, hoping to get my foot in the door for Deloitte Healthcare Consulting, Accenture CDP, or EY specifically within Chicago Offices. Is there anyone open to connecting and speaking on their experience being hired? I have previous experience working prior to my degree so hoping to get insight on how I can best score an interview. If you’re also open to providing a referral that would be a bonus!

What you should do when dealing with a very toxic worker that keep on sending passive aggressive messages to you as well as in group chat and email.
Things like when you answer his question he respond: I know that
Or when he keeps on saying my change requests were just minor in group meeting but actually not.
And keep on saying how hard he works when he clearly wasn’t and already underperformed compared to an intern level.
