The more interviews I have, the less professional I become. Just had an interview today, a group interview at that, and I was definitely the most professional dressed out of the interviewees and the interviewer. And I was dressed business casual! And I’m not exaggerating! There were beanies, graphic tees, hair all over the place, 2 people were in their car (no zoom background) and one person NEVER muted their background convos. If I make it to round 2, I’m interested to see if any of them do too

Call me old-fashioned, but that is is super unprofessional. I'd at least expect people to get it together for an interview. It's incredibly hard to find a job right now so they should be doing everything they can to look good.
