Job Interview Questions: Am I overdressed for my job interview?

I have a job interview for an accounting position at a small, moms-and-pops type of retail store that sells business suits. Because it's an administrative/accounting position, I was planning on wearing my usual dress suit, blazer & buttoned up blouse, but is this too much for a small retail store?

The 11 Cardinal Mistakes of Job Interviews

Recommended Answer:
I would say for this profession yes, you should wear a suit. Accounting is dealing with a company's money right? So you want to come across as professional as possible and give the impression that you are serious about your job. A general rule of thumb is to never dress less than "business casual" for any job. Again for jobs like sales, marketing, accounting and executive roles, always wear a suit.
