At least you looked professional.:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/way-overdressed-for-interview#post-68107 Thu, 28 May 2009 15:09:54 +0000 Chris 68107@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I totally agree with dressing up for interview. I had decided to wear the suit even though I knew the store chain is pretty casual (I just expected the interviewer to be in cool jeans, maybe a little jacket?).<br /> One of those real life examples of how a corporate dress code needs to be more specific - more real life role models. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/way-overdressed-for-interview#post-68038 Thu, 28 May 2009 09:12:03 +0000 Michelle 68038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with Amy, better to overdress than underdress, especially in a situation like that. You probably made your interviewer take a second look at her own wardrobe when she got home! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/way-overdressed-for-interview#post-68022 Thu, 28 May 2009 05:22:28 +0000 planetamy 68022@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>in interview situations, i think they expect you to dress to impress. I bet you looked great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/way-overdressed-for-interview#post-68019 Thu, 28 May 2009 05:10:01 +0000 Chris 68019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for your feedback on interview outfit - it turned out very modern and springy (would've been too warm for black pinstripe suit anywhere but SF today most likely - it was cold and foggy).</p> <p>Turns out the person I interviewed with was not dressed up at all. It is a Jrs company (think Forever 21 but not F21 - I;d rather not say where) but she was dressed in casual-casual (Angie might say slacker casual). I was pretty surprised - knit tee, mid faded jeans with cut off hem, sandals. </p> <p>If I DID decide to work there (the interview went well but I am not convinced it is right for me) I would at least wear updated smart casual to work. </p> <p>Thanks for all the support!! </p>
