      Why the Interviewer Asks This Question

      RBC states that they aim to "attract and retain the right talent." So, before your interview, it's crucial to have a clear picture in your mind of what their "right talent" looks like if you plan to present yourself as a candidate they want to hire. Part of that is looking the part. As RBC advises on their career site, "Always overdress for your interview. Even if the work environment is casual. A first job interview isn't the time to experiment with a new look. Choose clothes appropriate to the role and company. Always err on the side of caution and dress up, not down. Avoid loud colors or clashing patterns. Your clothes shouldn't be a distraction. Choose clothes that are comfortable and fit properly. Check for stains or wrinkles. Pay attention to personal grooming. Get a haircut if needed, brush your teeth and trim your nails. Keep accessories (including jewelry, belts, watches and bags) simple and to a minimum."

      Tips

      Even though HireVue offers candidates the advantage of being able to interview whenever and wherever they want, the algorithm will assess your grooming and attire for professionalism and neatness. So, they recommend "you wear exactly what you would for a traditional face-to-face interview. It may feel a little different to put on your Sunday best for your kitchen table, but hey, at least you won't have to get it pressed again after this, right?" Allow yourself enough time to get prepared. Approach being on camera as if it were an in-person interview, presenting yourself professionally throughout. Dress appropriately in professional attire for the role.
