Do you guys go full on for virtual interviews? I dressed like I was going to an in person interview yesterday then just felt silly because my interviewers were dressed casually.

nice shirt or tank with cardigan & necklace, sweatpants

They can dress casually, they already have the job...

Years ago I had a virtual interview. I ironed up my dress shirt and put on a tie. I sat on my couch. I acted as professional as possible. I don't think the man knew that I had no pants on.

As the cliche goes, always better to be overdressed than underdressed, especially at interviews.

They can dress casual because they already have the job. And you can too, after securing the job.

Had a virtual interview today. Was dressed in suit (and shorts lol ) and my interviewers were casual.
You’re the one trying to create a good impression on them so you should be always dressed to impress. Better to be overdressed than underdressed.

Yes just do a blazer and your hair. Who cares about the bottoms.

Brighter colors are needed, something I've noticied. I think white, grey, and a light color usually look good on camera with the right lighting.

Also having something in the background to provide visual interest is super important.

I would have pjs or jeans on the bottom and dress top with neutral makeup, and small studs. In a virtual interview, they can only see your top half half anyway.

An interview is an interview, not sure why anyone would dress differently just because it's on camera. At least your top half should look pretty professional.

When I interviewed for the job I have now, I wore a nice blouse with a cream colored blazer, which I probably would not have worn otherwise because the blazer is not a part of a suit. That light color looked great on camera. On the bottom, it was just a pair of jeans.

I had a video interview today and I dressed full on like I was going to an in person interview. Even down to the shoes.
