Down

I wear it down. I think if you're going to wear it up, it needs to be in a style more professional than a ponytail.

I put my hair up so it's one less distraction for me and the interviewer.

Down. I never wear it up at work

I have short hair, so, down. But when I used to have hair that was longer, I wore it up. I was also younger and felt it made me look older and more professional to wear it up (which may have been true at the time).

Do whatever makes you feel your best and most confident. Good luck!

How insensitive of you to leave out people identifying as female from giving their opinion on this. ;)

Distraction = me playing with my hair or moving it out of my face.

I'm really fidgety as well, A1, and if my hair is down I'm playing with it. I've always known but my team recently said something about it as well, so I know it's noticeable. If I have an important meeting/interview I wear mine up in a pony or bun to keep it from being a distraction. Whatever points I lose for that being "less professional," I'd lose more for playing with my hair. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks everyone!!

Down. An interviewer will not be distracted by hair...

I was recently offered a Zoom interview. The school had 10 interview slots for me to choose from. Three were one day this week and the rest are next week. I chose the first time slot available. Should I have waited until one of the last slots so I was fresher on their mind when choosing a candidate? I am just sitting here stressing out until I here something. Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?

Capgemini has sent me mail saying that I have been selected and within 10 days I will be getting offer letter..and they also asked me to share all the documents..after that no one contacted for HR discussion as well.. ..why they do like that?

Final round! Panel interview w an assignment to present some ideas on how to increase customers for 1 of 5 key audience segments.
I’m most familiar with 1 as it’s the audience I work with at current job. Not enough info/experience with other 2 segments. Remaining segments I know enough but not as confidently.

Will it look like I took the easy way out if I chose my segment? They know it’s my current audience and has been for 8 yrs. Would love to hear your thoughts!

I'm a first yr attorney at an insurance firm and am in the process of interviewing for an in-house position at a tech company.

I definitely think I would like the transactional work better, but I am concerned about the long-term earning potential vs. partnership. How common is it to eventually make $350k+ in-house/how difficult is it to transition back to a firm? Thanks!
