Feel like a clean shirt is just great. Definitely agree- no tie

Yup exactly what I’ve been wearing. Ditch the tie

Would you wear a tie in-person? If so, why would that be different because it’s on video? If not... why would it be different on video?

Honestly, I’ve had virtual interviews and all the interviees didn’t have any makeup or and looked like they just woke up from bed. But, regardless- i wore a shirt and blazer and also put on black leggings. I would advise doing the same. I only caution about wearing some form of acceptable pants because In a virtual interview once the interviewee asked me to stand up and thankfully i was wearing dress pants. The other guy was wearing boxers.

Wtf that’s strange they asked you to stand up.

3L with mostly A’s and B’s. I am having the worst luck trying to find work for after school and my experience working with lawyers has left me completely dejected. I cannot get an interview to save my life. I was so excited to get an externship summer after 2L with a small business and IP firm only to get yelled at on the phone a few times for not doing an assignment correctly. Mind you, I was working FOR FREE as it was a school connected externship. That made me never want to work in the law.
