Have an upcoming eMBA interview. Given current situation, it is virtual. What should I wear? Still full suit and tie, or just a dress shirt with a jacket?

I will never understand the desire to underdress. How do you function?

Just wear jeans and the $40 T-shirt you bought on your last trip to Times Square - report back on how it goes thx

Probably wouldn’t hurt to be more formal; they won’t be able to say you were underdressed.

Well let’s think this one through... will wearing a suit and tie to an interview hurt your chances? Will being slightly underdressed and getting unlucky because the interviewer is old school and cares about this hurt your chances? Which option seems like the safe choice? For being overdressed turn to page 43.... for being underdressed turn to page 97....

I just did this and wrestled with the same question. Short answer...just wear the tie. It’s kind of like a corona costume party.

Hey Fishies, I'm wondering if anyone could make a recommendation- I'm looking for software that does the following:

I can pre-set a list of x5 questions into this software
I can send recipient a link to the software
Recipient is recorded answering each question in succession (with the option to re-record)
I can access the recordings as a single file to post (with permission of course)

It's similar to video interview software but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
