How to Dress for Your Interview
That’s a simple one, right? Well, not in all cases. How you dress depends on a couple of factors, including the position you’re seeking and the company’s culture that you’re interviewing at.
If you’re interivewing for a position that is an executive level, most of the time you will want to wear a suit - men and women. Yes, there are some companies that are very casual. For example, about 5 years ago or so I was in the building where Ambercrombie & Fitch’s headquaters were and the employees were walking around in shorts and flip flops. I don’t know if that’s still their dress code but if an executive walked in wearing a suit back then, he would feel grossly overdressed.
That’s a pretty extreme example, of course, but realize you want to feel comfortable as much as you want the person interviewing you to feel comfortable. Dress a little ‘better’ than you think your interviewer will dress. Do your company research - the company website is a great place to find this info out.
And remember to wear something you feel good in. If you’re always scratching or situating your clothes, it’s not going to make a great impression.
