Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview as a receptionist today!! Gah what do I wear?

I have an interview today for a receptionist position. What should I wear? I mean-dont say dressy casual. Should I wear jeans and a nice top? A skirt? A dress?

The Job Interview Process - What to Expect



Recommended Answer:
Do Not wear jeans.
It would all depend what kind of receptionist job it was.. but you want to dress up and look your best.
A skirt and a nice top. Or dress. Good shoes. Prim and neat.

Since you will be the first person that clients or customers see at this company-they want to see that person NOW.
You will be the first impression that people have of their business.
Before you leave, look in the mirror and say
" what would I think of a company and I walked in the door and the receptionist looked like this ?" If youre happy with it..then wear it.

With jobs, even if youre applying to be the cleaning lady, always dress up, if you want the job.
You want it to appear youre putting your best effort into this.

Can I Really Get That Job? - How To Survive a Job Interview - Part 1


  • You can wear jeans if they're dark wash and fitted, then they should be classy looking. A nice blouse that doesn't have any excessive cleavage and make sure it's slightly more loose than the width of your hips (but is fit)
    And a causal cardigan over top. and wear either ballet flats or heels.
    Or you can wear a pencil skirt, high waisted belt, nice blouse that kinda puffs at chest and a a simple cardigan over top. Gladiator heels would go nicely with this outfit.

  • Hi Stacy! For the post you want to attend the interview, you can wear nice dark color skirt with a light color top on it. This is the ideal dress for the interview for a women. Hope you will get the job Best of Luck!

  • It's a job interview for a receptionist, and most jobs like that they expect you to dress nicely. DO NOT. I repeat DO NOT EVER wear jeans to an interview. Wear a nice pair of black/dress pants and a nice top.

  • A dress? wtf lol it's an interview not a night out...

    You should wear something smart, you shouldn't find it hard to know what to wear to a job like that either...

  • Go for a hint of formal, not too much though. Wear a blouse, with a pair of black trousers, or those pencil skirt (whatever they're called)...

    Good luck!

  • DO NOT WEAR JEANS. A skirt and a nice top or a dress would be appropriate.
