Ladies, what did you wear on the day of your consulting Zoom interview? I find buttoning the top button of the button-down shirt to look funky and feel uncomfortable, but also don’t want to appear unprofessional (even though it’s not low cut and doesn’t show anything). Also, collars in or out if you wore a button-down under your blazer/jacket? Women’s dress shirts’ collars just don’t fit as well with suits as men’s imo…

Wear what makes you comfortable. Formality is less over zoom. I wore a short sleeve button up with the top button unbottoned as you're describing; no blazer. It matched my interviewers as well who just wore t-shirt/polos.

Making a ppt for my next interview. The ask is to recommend whether or not to enter a specific life sciences indication. They’ve laid out the data they want to see (market, patients, competition etc). Would you start with summarising your decision and the whys, or build the story and then provide recos at the end? 20 min presentation with ~8-9 slides.

I am curious how other inclusion teachers are being utilized when the school is doing remote learning. I find that I am sitting in the zoom class and have very little opportunity to contribute.
