First: I hate interviews. Why am I even doing an interview? The government should be paying me. Second: The only interview I have ever had for a real job was held in a Dunkin Donuts....which was awkward. So what do you wear for an interview for an actual job? This is the company: http://www.pastryart.com I am leaning towards my usual Khakis and Polo...yay or nay? ------------- Que pasa?

The type of job you are interviewing for can affect the expected interview attire along with the nature of the company. What is the specific position?

I've always been told to dress one level above what you'd be wearing on a daily basis. So, if you'd be in a t-shirt and jeans every day, wear slacks and a polo. If you'd be in slacks in a polo every day, put on a button down and a tie, and so on and so on. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

I always wear black slacks, a dark blue long sleeve button down shirt, and black shoes. Add a black belt and maybe a tie, and you got the power outfit.
Seriously. Dress nice, you only have to impress them once, then when youre baking you wear the standard bakery clothes. ------------- ///AMG What? |

Dress to impress. My sister conducts interviews. If you aren't dressed up to her standards....points off. -------------

I should have probably gotten dressed for mine. Yeah shirt and tie always. You want to look like you care. If it was like a bar job or something a bit more casual then still a nice shirt and trousers. If you drag your arse in looking like you dont give a hoot then you wont do well. |

| When I went to an interview at six flags, I dressed up with black slacks and a blue button up long sleeve and a tie. The person that hired me told me he was extremely happy that I dressed up because so many people don't. It doesn't hurt to dress up for one day. It just shows respect to the employer for giving their time to interview you. |

The retarded weirdo terrible roommate that was living in my room before me refused to dress up for interviews because "its not who I am"
He would show up unshowered, in shorts and sandals, and literally tell them "I'm not willing to dress up for you, but I am willing to work hard for you" I wonder why he didn't get a job the entire time he lived there. I hate that guy... |

Not a tuxedo. A tuxedo-looking shirt. Nothing says 'classy' with a slacker attitude like one of these. You care enough to portray the look without the effort of the real thing. Shoe-in! -------------

For all of my previous interviews I always wore the same thing. Black Button down shirt, white undershirt Black Dickies, white belt and the whitest shoes I could find. ------------- I ♣ hippies. |

Suit. Always, always, always a suit. If you don't own a suit, dress as nicely as possible. Button Down shirt, tie, charcoal or black slacks. Khakis give off too much of a laid-back vibe, as do polos and button down shirts without a tie.

Also, their in-store prices are a lot better, and if you can find an outlet, they get dirt-cheap. Last two suits I bought from there ran me < $175 ------------- <Removed overly wide sig.

Suit. And polish your shoes... Nothing says "I'm a slacker" faster than wearing dress shoes that are all dusty and dirty.
And I always check the prospects car when they are filling out the paperwork...
Is it clean? are the tires worn out? Will it enable the person to get to work consistantly. ------------- They tremble at my name...

I think it really depends on the position. I've done hiring in the past for various positions, and for me, a suit was actually a bit of a negative in certain cases. If you are hiring for a dishwasher, busboy, ice cream scooper etc, showing up to an interview in a 3 pc suit makes you look like a douche. Khakis, polos or button downs are fine. Same with a warehouse position, stock boy etc. If you are hiring for a sales position or office job where the attire is suits/ties, than sure. I have even gone so far as to let the people know what they should wear for the interview to remove all doubt. If in doubt, ask. It shows that you want to make a good first impression and be a team player. ------------- "When I grow up I want to marry a rich man and live in a condor next to the beach" -- My 7yr old daughter. |

The JosABanks around here always have some RIDICULOUS deals going on. They just recently had a Buy One, get Two suits free sale. Only limit was that they couldn't cost more than the first suit. Unbelievably awesome deal. Wish I had managed to take part in it. ------------- Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo |

FE, I actually do always clean my car before an interview. I don't actually know why I do, just me being weird. Anyway, the interview went horribly(kind of). The lady went home sick today. I instead talked to some other guy for like ten minutes. He asked me what I was looking for and what not. Then he gave me a tour of the facility. The place is HUGE. You could probably fit 10 of the bakeries I have worked in in the place. I ended up ditching the polo shirt and instead went more douche. I did feel a little out of place walking into somewhere and the first person I see is wearing checks and a white shirt. I wore this: (switch the shirt and pants colors. Also, the skin tone. I am not black.)  ------------- Que pasa?
