Interview Attire Advice Please

[scooterbug44]

p.s. I was always taught that you can't dress too neatly or conservatively for an interview, and that you can't really overdress (short of wearing a formal, which would be weird.)

I totally agree! You should ALWAYS dress more formally and more conservatively for a job interview. I constantly hear comments from interviewers about how sloppily or casually applicants were dressed.

I have never heard of anyone who DIDN'T get a job because they were dressed too nicely at the interview. Dressing nicely shows you are a professional and are making an effort.

Gotta love anyplace where a discussion about interview attire devolves into one about hussies and cleavage! ;-)

I think everyone has given good advice. Look clean, polished and professional. Having a good attitude is just as important. I have interviewed so many people that just didn't seem to care if they got the job or not. Least I say they didn't.

I don't think it devolved, I think hussies and cleavage are very relevant to job interviews around here.

Did not mean to seem ungrateful for all of the wonderful advice (which I will take, of course). Thanks to all!

Twenty years and at least as many pounds ago, I might have considered using the ol' cleavage to my advantage. But I'm afraid that the business suit and good attitude will have to suffice for now.

I'm sure you'll do great. I really think the attitude is important as well. Not to be overeager but to show the interviewer that you are someone who's personality would be pleasant to have in the workplace and will always put a good foot forward for the company.

That would not be good. This site is computer crack! I'd be fired for feeding my habit at work!
