Job Interview Questions: How do I dress business for a job interview?

I have a job interview and the dress code is BUSINESS not business casual.

What is the difference between business and business casual?

Interview Skills You Need To Succeed In a Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Business usually implies wearing a suit, business casual is what people wear everyday at work. Nowadays though (especially for women) you dont have to wear a full matching suit. You could mix and match a suit jacket with plain black dress pants or a black skirt.

For a job interview, you want to make a good professional impression so this is what I suggest (what I've successfully worn at my job interviews!):

- wear a pinstripe business jacket (black, dark grey or navy colour)
- a white/ivory or light pastel blouse
OR
- a white/ivory or light pastel camisole
- a black pencil skirt that touch your knees
- black pumps (not more than 3 inches!!! You dont wanna look like a stripper LOL ;))

Add simple accessories (small pearl neckclace or small studded earrings) and make sure your hair is tied up. Interviewers want to see your face so if you have bangs or your hair is long, make sure you clip it aside or put it in a professional bun/ponytail. Most importantly, SMILE and be confident! Hope that helps, good luck!

• Don't wear jeans. I would recommend wearing a pair of slacks with a button down shirt and some pumps. Or if you have a suit or something then wear that.
