Have my closing interview with Accenture next week. So far the Director and MD I have met with have both liked me and the recruiter has said that they have both given me a thumbs up and that the upcoming closing interview with the MD is just a conversation. From my research I’ve also read that it’s just a sanity check to make sure I’m not a nutcase. Of course anything can happen, but I’m expecting an offer. (Cont)

I did find that wearing nice glasses made people give me a little more respect. Now I wear contacts because I just can’t deal with glasses being on my face… maybe I’ll go back!
Whatever makes you look conventionally better is better unless maybe you’re blonde imo. I mean not my opinion, but society’s lol
I think it helps more to look attractive and put together.

Hmm, I might test this theory out in future interviews.
In life in general, I have noticed that the combo of a blazer/suit jacket and glasses makes me less likely to be mistaken for a non-attorney.
Might make a difference, but your presence will speak louder. It's 100% possible to be attractive and intimidating imo. Just depends on if you feel more professional like you have your thinking eyes on focus wise. But your presence will outweigh your looks. All up to what makes you feel more powerful in your own self.
I have worn glasses in my interviews before. I’m conventionally attractive in a head turning way when I have my hair down and lip gloss or lipstick on (I generally don’t wear other makeup, my skin is clear, I naturally have long lashes, and have a button nose). I can tell when people are being extra nice to me because they like looking at me versus because they think I’m the best fit for the job. Downplaying my appearance is a way to ensure I’m the best fit and that the interviewer is being more like their natural self versus trying to appease me because I’m attractive.
It’s for a senior associate level role in case that changes anything.
Personally I don’t think it makes a difference but you can always wear a pair of blue light blockers if you still want your contacts to test your theory.

Genuinely will not matter. I know there are studies about how people judge instantly but you're doing a what, 30 minute job interview? I do a ton of interviews as part of our summer associate program and have NEVER heard anyone say someone looked too young - the feedback is always related to what they actually said and how they engaged with the interviewer. And at some point you have to understand that every associate candidate looks young to partners in their 50s - wearing glasses so you look 30 instead of 25 is absolutely not going to be a factor.
