Nervous About an Upcoming Job Interview? Just Focus on the Three Interview Objectives

Recommended Answer:
Actually a suit is appropriate no matter the age or the profession. Lose the attitude as it may affect your chances of getting the job. I hire numerous people and those that take that amount of care always present the best.

If you do not feel comfortable in a suit, especially considering the job would not require you to wear one then I would suggest 'smart casual' This means something you would wear to dinner perhaps. NO jeans, flip flops, t-shirts.
I would recommend clean casual shoes, neat ironed pants, a button up shirt or a collared shirt.

From an employers point of view if you dress sloppy and too casual then that is what your work might be like so you will not get hired. It is harsh but true.

Good luck with the interview.

Stress And That New Job Interview

• Anything dressy as long as it isn't trashy.


• Jeans and a shirt?
  
  Trousers and a shirt and a jumper?


• I would reccommend wearing something smart to any kind of job interview - whatever your age - whatever the position.
  
  Preferably a suit but as someone else suggested, certainly not jeans/trainers/t-shirt etc.
  
  First impressions are VERY important and the interviewer normally makes their mind up on that alone!


• Do you know if you will be expected to demonstrate any abilities, or be expected to walk around the area?
  
  I would dress a step up from blue jeans and t-shirt. If you have some sturdy dress pants and a polo shirt, that would be a good option.
  
  Do not dress in shorts and t-shirt. I agree about the suit. It's not necessary, but you do want to dress a step up from what you will normally wear to work.


• According to: www.employmentguide.com/careeradv…
  It says where a collared shirt with a tie.
  If you go for that sort of job you have to dress casual unfortunately.
  Boring i rekon :P
  anyway good luck

  EDIT: If you wear a suit, you will look like a dork so do NOT listen to the other answerers!
  Its construction,not much of a deal.


• Your right a suit is not appropriate for construction.But I would wear a nice button down shirt and jeans or dockers as long as they don't look
  bad and tennis shoes. I don't think they expect a 17 yr old to show up in a suit,unless your applying for a internship in the government,or on wall street.


• Professional dress is most appropriate for any job interview. If you can manage it, I think a dress shirt and tie with slacks would be best. Or at least a very crisp polo and slacks, dress shoes of course. As neat an appearance as possible.


• yes sir re, a suit will get you in the door, they like to see that you like the best.
