Job Interview Questions: Job interview? What to Wear?

I am having a job interview on Tuesday and I am figuring out to wear.This is for a UPS packaging and handling position and it just sounds like a very formal and strict environment.

I have always gotten away with dress shoes, nice dress pants or khakis, and a nice express polo. But these are the times when I applied for retail and a restaurant and got the job.

Should it be okay just wearing that, or would I have to wear a business like shirt, pants, shoes, tie, etc because it seems like a formal environment?

Job Interview Questions: Is it acceptable to wear my fraternity membership badge to a job interview?

Could wearing it help me or hurt me? Ill probably wear a shirt and tie to the interview.

Job Interview Tips That Lead to Job Offers



Recommended Answer:
Only wear a badge/pin if you were in a service fraternity in a field relevant to the job. Otherwise leave it at home.

Know the Common Job Interview Questions


  • It is not acceptable. No disrespect intended to your fraternity, but an employer would look on it as wearing boy-scout badges. In other words, the intention with which you wear it will be interpreted in a drastically different manner.

    Good luck with your interview. Just be yourself and it will be fine.

  • You shouldn't wear it. As evidenced by some of the answers above, some ignorant people don't understand what it means to be Greek. If they see your pin, they could hold it against you.

  • Why do you want to wear a pithy badge? If the badge reminds the interviewee of a kind of rancour/abomination, your job will be lost straight away. It's best to follow the current rule -wear smart and try your very best.

    Don't do anything risky.

  • No. It makes you look like you should still be school. Show a potential employer that your ready to move from the dorm, and int a professional setting by wearing a suit with no fraternity badge.

  • I wouldn't wear it unless there's some connection to the interviewer or company & the frat. It will seem childish.

  • NO!

Job Interview Questions: Should i be up front about time off in a job interview?

I've got a couple job interviews in the next couple of days. They are both arts supply related retail positions. Both of them start as part time. Should I be up front about pre-made vacation plans? I have a big family reunion coming up in July and I will need to be out of town for a week. I'm not sure whether or not to say it in the interview.

Trying To Get A Job? Do Away With These Job Interview Booboos



Recommended Answer:
Tell them when they actually hire you.

How to Answer Common Job Interview Questions


  • Oh absolutely be honest. It would be much worse to get hired and then surprise them. Be up front and tell them exactly how long you will be gone. If you don't get the job because of it, you would have been fired from anyway when you told them you needed a week off.

  • Yes. When I or anyone hires you. . . We are not hiring you for a week here and there. When we look at you on paper or in person we see an investment. Investments pay off on an annual basis not weekly/monthly. Although rarely true the assumption often is when you are hired... You were hired for a reason and I / they as a manager are good enough to retain good people for at least a year for our ROi

  • I would not tell them until you are discussing your start date ... that type of thing. Basically AFTER you've gotten the offer.
    When they are starting the interview process, they are looking for any reason to cross candidates off the list (these days there are many candidates for each job).

    How long do you need to take off? Assume you'll be able to figure it out! It's a part time job, have they already discussed the exact hours / days you'll need to work?
    You should be able to figure out how to fit that into your schedule with other co-workers.

    Anyway - at least on the first interview, don't bring up anything potentially negative to have them skip you as a potential employee.

  • Yes, be up front about your time off. You have a right to have a life outside of work and I am sure they will understand especially if plans were made way before you started working there.

  • I think because it's out a couple of months, I don't think you need to mention it unless they ask. But if they do ask if you have any vacation planned then yes, be honest. Also, if they do NOT ask then you could mention it to them after working for a couple of weeks so they still have time to find somebody to work those hours.
