[quote=Anonymous]I just spent 6 months interviewing for higher level positions. Even for my very last interview, I still was not sure what I should wear. Yes, I did hair, makeup, something nice on top. But I work suit jackets a few times and it seemed like too much given what the interviewers were wearing.

Everyone should give everyone grace in terms of getting onto online meetings. I was early or on time except for once where Zoom was buggy and wouldn't open the meeting. I started 5+ minutes beforehand and still ended up a few minutes late. If an employer can't understand that we don't have perfect control over technology, that's not the place to be.

I generally didn't send thank you notes on the premise that we were all benefitting from taking time for the discussion. We thanked each other for that at the end of the interviews and I felt that that was generally sufficient. Of course, I also wasn't interested in continuing to pursue many of those employers. For the one I wanted to pursue, I intentionally sent notes to signal that interest.
