Halloween is coming up. If you had a job interview that day would you have any sort of costume element or Halloween colors to your outfit? I remember back in the day when everyone dressed up for Halloween at work.

Dress app for the job, not i. costume.

I suppose it might be different if the job included a costume, but you're right.

I'd never entertain the idea of wearing a costume. Showing up to an interview in one will make you look incredibly unserious. I could see maybe wearing an orange tie, but that would be as far as I'd be willing to go.

For me, that would depend on if it is an internal or external role. If it's internal, I would follow the culture of the company. My company has halloween parties and costume contests, so I would be dressed accordingly. If it's external, I would tone it down and maybe sport some halloween themed accessories, but not a full blown costume.

Great answer! Following the company culture.

Diabolical. Wouldn’t do that for an internal nor external interview unless it was for a job at Spirit Halloween lol

Even if you work at a place where everyone dressed up for Halloween? Yeah, I still might not do anything beyond a splash of orange.

Yes 10000%.
How else are they supposed to know that you are a strong culture fit?? You are engaging in a "mock" team bonding activity and embracing the "work hard - play hard" mentality. Diversity and inclusion is a top priority so wear whatever costume makes you comfortable. (satire)

Haha, yes, the question was a bit tongue in cheek.

I've never had a job interview on Halloween, but if I did I'm sure I wouldn't wear a costume to it. I'm actually not a huge fan of adults getting carried away over Halloween. I think it's a great holiday but the dressing up part should be for kids, not grown-ups. That's my unpopular opinion.

Even if you have a party to go that's all adults? No costume at all? (I agree absolutely no costume at work or for an interview)

Even though a fun idea zi would stick to regular outfit with orange scarf earrings or tie if you think it helps Otherwise business dress is best. A suit jacket and neat pants in conservative pattern is best for a salary position best of luck!

Haha, I meant a splash of orange. Don't wear a splash of organs!!

I keep hearing that Booth’s MBA program is rigorous (maybe the most rigorous out of M7). That said, how much more work are students expected to do compared to HBS, Wharton, Kellogg, etc.? I don’t know if this is an outdated opinion, considering a lot of MBAs are very demanding. Booth is personally my top choice for having a flexible curriculum & 2-3 days of classes. But I really want to know what to expect around the “rigorous” label. Does it mean I’ll be buried in coursework the other 2-3 days?

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
