wesr_gordon Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Hey there, I was invited to my first interview invite and I was wondering the most appropriate attire: suit with jacket, suit without a jacket or business casual? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UGoLong Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Like a job interview. Coat and tie would be my recommendation. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marktheshark89 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 full suit and tie for sure. Definitely better to be over than underdressed, and all of my interviews had the majority of applicants wearing this attire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cinntsp Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 There are two safe options: 1. A Charcoal suit, black shoes and belt, white or light blue shirt, and a not too crazy tie of appropriate color. 2. A Navy suit, dark brown shoes and belt, white or light blue shirt, and a not too crazy tie of appropriate color. A charcoal and a navy suit are something any man should have as they enter the professional world so invest in one if you don't own one already. When you're thinking about spending that money, just remember that not getting in can cost you $100k in lost earnings from having to wait another year to become a PA. Interviews aren't a fashion show but you don't want to stand out in a bad way. Just my .02! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taotaox1 Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Unless told otherwise, full suit and tie. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmdpac Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I'm curious as to why anyone would think a job interview would require anything less than a suit and tie. Unless the invitation specifically states otherwise it should be assumed that it is a business occasion and appropriate business attire in required. Wear the suit with the jacket and tie.

G. Davenport Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 As a Dean and PA PD, my advice - dress up. Everyone there is going to be in a suit. I would bd dressed like my picture with this post. Trust me, you are being evaluated from many angles. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
primadonna22274 Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 OMG yes professional dress. This is even more important for women. Men generally get the suit and tie memo. I've often been unimpressed by what some some consider business dress. No cleavage! Color is nice--in moderation. A dress or skirt (at or below the knee) is acceptable if you're not a suit type (I'm curvy and they never fit!) HOSE if your legs are showing--no bare legs--NOT professional. Tasteful hair, makeup and jewelry. No extremes. If you have no fashion sense ask a friend who has it for help. Wear comfortable dress shoes--you are likely to walk a lot.

Moderator LT_Oneal_PAC Posted June 12, 2014 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2014 I wore an ed hardy shirt and my stretchy sweats with a nice pair of sandals. You need to be comfortable above all else. You're already nervous as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've often been unimpressed by what some some consider business dress. So true!! One of the girls at an interview was wearing black leggings and a cardigan. She stood out like a sore thumb among a sea of suits. I kind of felt bad for her but really??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
