Job Interview Questions: Any ideas on what I could wear to my first job interview?

I'm 15 years old, and I recently applied/left my resume at a store called 'Party Packagers'. It's a specialty store that sells supplies for parties and special occasions. They called me this morning saying they want me to come in for an interview tomorrow..See the thing is I've never had a job before, or rather a job interview so I have no idea what would look suitable to wear to it. Any ideas?
+The weather is generally hot here.

Job Interview Questions and Answers Are All That Stands Between You and Success



Recommended Answer:
I don't agree with wearing what ever you want. Yes I agree you don't have to wear a suit but you should wear a nice blouse and pants ( for a 15 year old, some lower shoes is good too.no high heels ) Make sure your hair is nice and your makeup natural.

I am a manager and that is one thing that I take into consideration.. attire. It says a lot about a person. It might not be who you are but it is who you should be when it comes to a job, a professional.

Hope this helps !

World's Best Job Interview Tips


  • It's Party Packers not a law firm.

    Wear whatever you want.

  • A job interview is when you should try to blend in with that world. When you are a teenager you shouldn't look like you are heading out to a rock concert. Avoid ripped shirts, T-shirts, shirts with writing/logos, bare midriffs, jeans, short skirts and wild hair. Teenage girls should wear dress pants or a dress skirt and a nice blouse. if it is a skirt suit be sure that the length of the skirt is appropriate. Knee-length is best for a job interview.

    Girls can pick a sweater, cardigan or blouse with a conservative neckline. Make sure your choices fit properly.
    Lean toward neutral and darker colors. If your interview happens to be right after school, pack a backup outfit just in case the first one gets dirty. You can play with colors a bit, but try to stick to soft pinks, purples or greens.

    Step into your interview with a clean pair of shoes. You can go with a low heel if they prefer, but simple non-slip loafers or Oxfords will suffice. Remove any debris from the soles and buff away any scuffs that may be on the tops, sides or back.

    Remove any facial piercings. Girls should limit themselves to one earring in each ear.
    Accessories and make-up should be kept simple for a job interview. Make-up should not include intense colors such as blue eyeliner or bright red lipstick. Nails should be properly manicured, not too long or painted in loud colors. A French manicure or plain clear coat draws the least attention. Jewelry worn on a job interview should also be kept plain. Pearls are ideal, as are small pendants or stud earrings. Trendy dangling earrings or large bracelets that jingle or cause distraction should always be avoided for a job interview.

    Girls should always keep their legs and feet covered for a job interview. Stockings are an absolute must as bare legs are considered extremely unprofessional, even if they are lean and tan. If heels are worn with pants, knee high stockings should be worn to cover the exposed part of the feet. Open toed shoes, sandals or extremely high heels or platforms are not a good idea for a job interview and are also considered to be unprofessional.

    Remember!
    • Professionalism should be the number one goal for a girls on a job interview, which is a different goal than normal day-to-day dressing that often has the goal of looking attractive.
    • You cannot expect to be respected or treated equal to the man sitting next to you in a business suit and tie(even if your resume is better than his)if you show up to the job interview in a short skirt, five inch high sandals and a low cut shirt.
    • Avoid sending the wrong message by dressing inappropriately.
    • Show the potential employer you mean business by caring about your appearance.
    • Unfortunately due to the inequality that exists in the workplace girls often need to take extra measures to be respected and viewed as professional.
    Gooooooooooood Luck :)
