Job Interview Questions: How to dress for a job interview?

Semi-casual, semi-formal, casual, formal?
Open toed heels?
Boots with one-inch heels?
Jeans?
Any of the three allowed?

Please help, thank you!
Also do you take your resume with you to a job interview, what else do you take?

Common Job Interview Mistakes



Recommended Answer:
No jeans. I would suggest something appropriate for a business/office type environment so slacks or skirt (not short/above the knee) and blouse/sweater. Tasteful jewelry and heels (it's fine if they are open toed or boots but not TOO high). If you submitted your resume originally, bring it with you just in case the person interviewing doesn't have a copy but also it's nice to have a copy of it in front of you to help remember details about your previous experience.

GCFLearnFree.org has free tutorials on how to prepare for interviews: www.gcflearnfree.org/interviewski… It includes instructional text, informational graphics, examples, and even interactives for you to practice what you've learned/actually apply what you've learned. It discusses what you should wear to an interview and what questions you can anticipate being asked.

If you need additional help for things like writing a cover letter or job searching, there are tutorials for that as well: www.gcflearnfree.org/career

Hope it helps and Good Luck!

Job Interview Skills: What Does The Employer Want To Hear?


  • Dress neatly and conservatively. You want to project the best possible image of yourself, so plan and prepare a neat, businesslike outfit. You can't go wrong with a business suit. Even if the company has explicitly stated that it's a “business casual” workplace, stick with the suit. An interview is not the time to express your unique fashion sense; it's the time to show you know when it's time to follow the rules and traditions of business.

    Good luck :-)

  • wear either dress pants or a dress skirt (to or below the knee). wear a nice blouse. wear heels. one inch boots are fine, as long as they're classy. do NOT wear jeans to an interview. and please, no cleavage. and if you wear make up, don't wear like purple eye shadow. keep it classy.

  • I know I took my license and social secuity card to my interview. It was my first job so I didn't have a resumer. Idk if this will help bc I'm a guy but I wore fress shoes, dress pants and a polo from American Eagle

  • Just a formal dress.
