ELKPA Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 Take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt, but after witnessing this on several occasions at interviews I felt the need to at least say this: DO NOT UNDERDRESS Guys: This means wear a jacket. Buy, borrow, rent one if you have to. Girls: No sundresses, flip flops, or untucked blouses. I say this only because when you're up against 20 other candidate who have the exact same credentials as you, admission decisions can look for the most minute details that separate you. Dance the dance when you have to, and for an interview deciding whether or not you get your dream career...dance monkey dance. Now whether you dress in blue, black or gray is an entirely different conversation.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anewconvert Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I'm surprised that this needs to be said. Flip flops? Really? Last cycle I was working as a student ambassador and had an interviewee come in wearing chuck taylor's.... You'd think that would be understood as a no go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator rev ronin Posted August 22, 2016 Administrator Share Posted August 22, 2016 The people who show up in flip-flops haven't read the forum, obviously. The Physician Assistant Forum: Keeping applicants from looking stupid since 1998. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluepillow Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Nothing surprises me anymore after I interviewed next to an applicant wearing MC Hammer pants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliB Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Well ... pardon my Monday morning snarkiness ... but you probably won't see them in a seat in any PA program classroom ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiggySRNA Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 I definitely saw flip flops at the interview I went to last week! I was shocked. So my Jordan hydro flip flops are a no go? Darn it T_T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petunia Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 The advice is nice... but........... I think those people aren't really deserving of an acceptance.... so if they dress themselves out of the applicant pool... it's all on them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cbrutts Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Last week at an interview I went to, there was a girl who had on a black top that on that back was sheer and you could clearly see her bra strap. Not to mention this same girl was late and walked into the middle of someone giving a presentation about the program! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiamondDog Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 On your way into the interview NEVER get into a taxi where the cabbie has clearly been smoking weed in his car....This was clearly the reason I wasn't offered a seat lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
