What is the modern dress code for a zoom interview? Wearing a suit feels potentially out of touch with the moment and a tie feels obviously so.

Agreed - I went with a simple white shirt with a half-zip jumper recently when I interviewed recently and I felt it worked well (assuming you’re male)

If it's the sort of place where you'd wear a suit for an in-person interview, I've found most people wear either a formal/collared shirt, or the same with blazer (no tie). Applies to both men and women. Tie is too much, and I do feel t-shirt is still taking the piss a bit for an interview even if you'd wear one during the normal zoom workday

Cool, well the above is what people have worn to zoom interviews I've done at Bain. Nice sweater also works if it's more PE bro than schlubby Joe

I interviewed recently and just went for a collared shirt, I felt comfortable and I got the job

I just wear a collared formal shirt, simple. It works.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

I am under qualified for a job that I KNOW I can do. They’ve asked for a certain number of years of experience and I don’t have it. However, I do have some experience in the exact requirements for the role. What can I do to position myself to get an interview from my resume alone? Should I add a cover letter? What should I include? I have 2-3 YOE, but they’re asking for 5.

Next time, I won’t hesitate. I’ll be ready next time.

Hello sharks,

Recently attended the TCS interview for the role of cloud architect and it went well.

Then HR called me to discuss the salary and told me that she will inform the management.

Almost 3 working days after the call, haven't received any updates! Tried to call HR but not picking up the call. I assume it's because of these continuous holidays.

Is this usual!

Please let me know your thoughts and suggestions.
