It worked, so thanks everyone for the sanity check and suggestions :)</p> <p>I am not really sure about this job - it was an opportunity worth exploring and a good chance to practice my interview skills. I am coming to realize that I am not going to be able to handle a completely new demanding job while the kids are still so little. I might have to sit it out until the youngest is at least in pre-K. Hopefully there will be people willing to hire me at that point. :)</p> <p>Shana, where are you moving? You don't have to answer, I was just curious. That must be tough on the kids, too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85611 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:33:28 +0000 Chris 85611@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mix it up - the white pants with black jacket but different top. Or the micro checks with different top. If you change the tops and accessories, they will have no clue.<br /> Sell them on YOU! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85597 Tue, 11 Aug 2009 03:03:44 +0000 shana 85597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Marianne, congrats on the 2nd interview!!! I am going to cross my fingers for you. I think things are starting to pick up a bit - I had a phone call last week from a resume that I sent in about 5 months ago. Of course, now that we are settled on moving, it is pointless but my husband thinks I should go anyway just to sharpen my interview skills.</p> <p>Anyway, I think it would be fine to wear the same pants. Did you interview with men? I doubt they would notice if you wore the exact same outfit although you could try to mix it up just for yourself. You look fantastic in your white pants so I think that's an option too with a jacket and button-down top. Didn't you have a dressy pair of black or navy pants? I seem to recall you having a pair of classic/nondescript black pants too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85456 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 17:25:00 +0000 Louise 85456@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Fathenry about always overdressing for interviews, shows you've made an effort. Think it would be fine to wear the same trouers but with a different top x </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85388 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 12:37:05 +0000 yublocka 85388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Joy - I was going to suggest brightening it up with a colour for a different look. What coloured tops do you have Marianne?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85339 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 05:52:42 +0000 marianne 85339@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, glad to hear the same pants are OK. Just wanted to make sure I am not completely crazy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85331 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:52:12 +0000 mummy2thea 85331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That dress might work if you wore only a small heel with it and maybe a belt to smarten it up, failing that the same trouser would work if you change the top you wear with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85325 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:13:22 +0000 Anonymous 85325@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see why you couldn't wear the microchecks again styled differently, this time maybe a top or jacket with color since you went black and white last time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85323 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 04:06:08 +0000 marianne 85323@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you ladies! No, don't have a suitable skirt. I've never worn skirts to interviews because I always worked in software engineering where you had to be "one of the guys", but this place could handle it. I am not that worried about the same pants, as long as it's not a blatant faux pas. And they seem kinda memorable because of the pattern...even though I might be overthinking this :)<br /> The only remotely appropriate dress I have is this and I think it's too short for the occasion:<br /> <a href="http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm57/cyudo/IMG_7138.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i293.photobucket.com/al.....G_7138.jpg</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85309 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 03:09:56 +0000 Maya 85309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I was also going to ask if you have a skirt or a dress that would work instead of pants. Good luck! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85304 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:59:52 +0000 fathenry 85304@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, I always feel the need to overdress for an interview so I would probably wear a skirt in this situation. Do you have a pencil skirt that you can wear? I would probably not wear the same pants again. Not because anyone would notice, but because you need to feel confident! For me, the repeat would have me too worried. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-with-interview-outfit#post-85301 Mon, 10 Aug 2009 02:43:23 +0000 marianne 85301@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am going in for a second interview and don't know what to wear! To the first one I wore CM microchecks, white shirt and casual black jacket. Can I get away with wearing the same pants? I only met a couple of people there before, and this time I will be meeting everyone. The only other non-denim summer options I have are white pants and black clams (clams are out, I imagine, but what about white?). The position is tech, but the rest of people there aren't, and the place is very casual and laid-back. Thanks for any thoughts! </p>
