christoofar 0 #27 December 10, 2004 QuoteGoing in for the interveiw next friday. Can all you fashionable people help me out here? You're a guy. So... is it cold? Black pullover sweater is always good with that. Put on some black clogs and a matching belt and shave that crap off yo face. If you're being interviewed by a woman than you better also put on a nice watch. Ladies typically look at your shoes and your watch first before checking the rest of you out (they have to spend dough on nice accessories, they check to see if you do, too).

Lindsey 0 #29 December 10, 2004 I have an interview Tuesday, and I'm wearing a brown suit. I think it's okay not to look exactly like everyone else they're interviewing.... I didn't even wear a suit to my medical school interview....wore grey trousers, a white shirt and a red jacket. Did I stand out?! Yeah....got an early acceptance too....lol. So my way is to look nice and to interview well.... linz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry Ms. Lisa please don't give me detention for not paying attention!! my mom would kill me!! If you're going to interview in anything that isn't in one of these kinds of carrers (or similar) then forget the tie: - Associate Attorney (anything Legal) - Accountant - Financier/Stockbroker - Executive - Upscale retail All you need to do is look sharp and that doesn't always mean a suit. If it's still warm than a nice (new) polo shirt is also good. I haven't worn a suit on an interview since I was 20, but I'm in the I/T field (they expect us to look like dogs). What is more important than a tie is a belt. Belt needs to match the shoes. Don't overgel your hair either. Coming into an interview with a wet mop on your head is kinda annoying. ____________________________________________________________ I'm RICK JAMES! Fo shizzle.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites flyangel2 2 #38 December 10, 2004 This might help. Opt for dressy casual attire for a company that you know doesn't expect suits. Pressed khakis or slacks, a clean, ironed button-down shirt, a belt and a leather loafer will serve you well. May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view.

The job that I have now I went to the interview in a suit. They hired me that day with the note of something like "Ok, you got the job, lose the suit" The point is, it was appropriate for the interview, improved confidence going in, even though its not the normal atire for this company. Where I work is a law firm and I dressed to impress the people I will be working for (Lawyers). It doesn't matter what the position calls for on an every day basis. Dress to be noticed and show that you know whats going on. If you under dress you will lose points and its a lot harder to "over" dress.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

Everyone there will wear scrubs and it is a given that you better be a roll your sleeves up and prepare to get waist deep in some gross stuff kind of guy. I suit may subliminally present a bit of reluctance to that type of work. Don't wear cologne. Hospital staff is generally not allowed to and they may pick up on the fact that you're wearing it right away. Dress nice and wear a watch that you wouldn't be afraid to wear to work in the hospital. Don't be afraid to talk (but don't ramble) about how you take of your grandma. That is very relevant to the job. Good luck and don't forget to smile.
