What to wear for a job interview...
The company where I have worked for the last seven years is undergoing some changes. We have had a few RIFs this year already and there will most likely to be more to come. I decided about a month ago to move on and put my toes in the job-search waters.
I found that things have changed in how you look for a job but I have adapted. I now find myself moving forward on the interview path for a few promising opportunities. So far, the interviews have been by phone.
However, I now am being asked to come to a HQ for a face-2-face interview. This organization has a very casual office environment. The job description actually says that shorts and flip-flops are OK.
So, what should I wear? Back in the day, when going to a meeting I would wear a suit. Then, if someone mentioned that I was overdressed I took off my tie.
I'm thinking about maybe wearing a sport coat, slacks and dress shirt. No tie. If I am overdressed, I could always take off the jacket.
What do you think?
