Congrats on interviews, what matters most is YOU and your personality. If a blazer makes you feel like a boss, do it. If you’d prefer to stay light n breezy with a blouse, great.

This is good advice! I feel more confident with a blazer, so went with it 🙌🏻

I wore a blazer and felt overdressed. My interviewers (alumni for one school and adcom for the other) were both wearing zip up Patagonia-like jackets

Haha,I had the exact same thing, but didn’t feel overdressed. It is an interview after all. You’d rather be a tad overdressed than underdressed.

I’m gonna wear a nice sweater that I would wear to work.

I didn’t wear a blazer to my Tuck interview at 7am on a Sunday but my interviewer did. I have worn a blazer to every interview since and have felt more comfortable

Depends on which school too I think! HBS instructed blazer I think while Kellogg said business casual

Currently our marketing team is of one (me) and we outsource quite a bit of other tasks as we continue to grow. With that said, one of the tasks I am currently involved with is creating weekly emails from scratch and I am pretty darn good at them. Yet so many people (several in different teams) have requested to review my work before it’s sent. It’s unnecessary and makes the job less efficient. How can I politely and professionally decline their request?
