Reply To: What to Wear for a Job Interview

[clewis]

Hi Tinalynn – congratulations and good luck to you! A good rule is for an interview is to err on the side of caution, i.e. dress slightly above the level you are interviewing for.

I’m in the corporate IT world, and my last interview a few years ago was for a contributor level position at a company with a business casual dress code. Even so, for that I wore a business professional look – powder blue pantsuit and a white cami, with nude heels.

Considering what you have described, I would think that a business casual look would make a good impression – i.e. nice top, casual slacks or skirt, and comfortable but tasteful flats. Everything coordinating, and nothing too revealing.
