    What to Wear to a Job Interview

    I like candidates to be wearing something that they are comfortable in. If you are a suit person, wear a suit. But even if you don't wear a suit,wear corporate dress attire, (I am a large built, don't do suits, but have always worn corporate skirts and tops for interviews). I also don't expect a lady to be in heels unless she is comfortable in them..

    Good luck in your interview!

    Oh and DMB reminded me about shoes. I wear heels (3 -4 inches) because my pants are cut for that length. I hardly ever wear flats to work, anyway. Wear whatever you would wear to work.

    I usually wear pants and a shirt/top with small heels or ballet flats (am a teacher too) I don't generally wear heels so would look silly and wouldn't be able to walk in them which would be a giveaway I don't own a suit jacket so in cooler weather would be a cardigan and in summer a nice with short or tee sleeves.

    I prefer heels, so will probably go with that. And my suit looks great and feels great, despite the fact it is 10 years old now.

    So what to wear with the suit? It is black so pastel colours are out. Blouse/blouse and tie/blousey-top.

    And coloured shoes or black?

    I wear black shoes with a black suit. And pastels are fine under a black suit I think. A blouse is fine. I don't necessarily wear a shirt type blouse under a suit as I think it looks harsh. Anything neutral coloured should be fine.
