What to wear to an interview.

[feeb]

Hmm hard call as its casual I would think Jeans and a dressier top eg with a collar that way you are not really casual but not over the top IYKWIM.

Good luck

Ooh, what an exciting opportunity!!

Um, it's a tough one isn't it? If it were me I probably wouldn't wear denim. Maybe just a nice pair of pants or a skirt (for you, not your DH LOL) and a nice top, nothing too dressy.

Denim may be OK, I am absolutely no expert!

Best of luck!!!

I'd go with the pants and shirt option, both times. Worst case you're wearing nicer clothes than the interviewer. When it's a 'job' interview that's not a bad thing! Other way, what if they are dressed quite nicely and you feel underdressed?

JMO...

[sloane]

yeah, i'd be inclined to go for the dressier option. i'd rather feel slightly overdressed than underdressed - cos even if they're more casual, i think it demonstrates that you do care about the job & their business etc.

good luck

Maye wear what you would wear if you were going to a nice dinner, smart casual but not too dressy IYKWIM

What if DH wears nice jeans and a casual shirt, and I wear black pants and a dressy kind of top?

[Nelle]

Do you have something like nice slacks that aren't black (lol, slacks, I think that's the word I mean)? You know, like tailored looking pants, but not as formal as black formal pants. I will see if I can find what I mean...

...okay don't Google Images 'slacks' just lots of daggy men and 90's office wear. I searched for women's tailored pants.
These are sort of grey? Or maybe black.
Sort of stone coloured. Obviously no thongs though!
These blue ones are cute.

So yeah, that sort of thing with a plain white or black tshirt, or an actual shirt.

You probably could go jeans, but as Jen says, better safe than spending the interview wondering if the jeans were a bad idea.

ETA: I reckon he could get away with jeans and a shirt, but with nice shoes. Sort of makes him look like someone who'd go fix the back fence.

Nelle, I used to have a brown pair and a grey tweed type pair but I stretched them when I was pregnant with Matilda and so I threw them out, bugger! I might go and have a shop once the phone rings.

What should DH wear.... .

[Visitor7]

Well, first things first, I don't think you should take the job because you're supposed to be moving up here!

Now, back to your question, I would think smart casual for both of you. Does dh even have a nice buttoned shirt and a pair of black or navy pants. I suppose they wouldn't need to be long pants either, maybe some nice 3/4 pants? I know dh has some nice dressy ones he got from Myer which he wore for an interview (and he got the job).

[Daydream Believer]

They have some really nice mens dressy pin-stripe shorts in JayJays for $20 at the moment

[DaintreeDream]

Hmm thats what I think. I am happy to wear pants and a dressy top (I am not to keen on shirts). However, DH wants to wear jeans... he thinks it is a country caravan park and a casual coffee interview... argh help, I don't want to stuff up the opportunity just because of clothes .
