Job Interview Questions: What should a 17 year old boy wear for a job interview?

I am 17 years old and I just applied for a job at an fast food resturaunt. The man in charge arranged for an interview

I would like to know what to wear for such an interview. Should I wear something very formal and mature, or could I dress casually?

Also please give me some tips for a job interview. :)

Thank you very much!

Recommended Answer:
a fry cook uniform, also a apron for accesories and a spatula to show that you aren't playing and that it would be stupid for them to choose another person.

Job Interview Attire - How to Choose the Right Career Clothes For Your Job Interview


  • A nice collar shirt and pleated pants would be fine. Don't show up wearing a suit to a fast food interview, you look like a tool because its fast food and nobody really takes it seriously.

  • formal dress is good for interview don't try to wear funky dress for an interview!!

  • Business casual should do the trick. Some khakis, a polo and semi-formal shoes will work just fine

  • School Shirt and Trouser with Black Shoes and wear a different tie.
    That all you need.

  • Wear a suit :) means your ready for the Job :)

  • Clean underwear and no Axe cologne...

  • i would were a sporty polo
    Act nice

  • Wear something formal. Prepare, prepare, prepare for all and every question. It is is just like going for an exam. Make sure you take an extra copy of your CV with you.

    The Interview:
    •Dress for the interview and the job. Don't overdress or look too informal.
    •Nice firm handshake, before the interview if your hands are sweaty, wash them off if you can
    •Have pen, notepad, extra copy of your resume (business cards if you normally use them) available where you can find them fast without fumbling through pockets or purse.
    •Always go to the interview alone. Arrange for baby sitters, transportation, and other pitfalls ahead of time so that you can be on time and relaxed in the interview.
    •Find common ground with the employer. Pictures, books, plants, etc., in the employer's office can be conversation interns leading into the interview (this can make both of you more comfortable).
    •Express your interest in the job and the company using information you gathered to prepare for the interview.
    •Let the interviewer direct the conversation.
    •Answer questions in a clear and positive manner. Show how your experience and training will make you productive in the shortest time with minimal supervision.
    Note:
    •Speak positively of former employers and co-workers no matter why you left even if you were fired from your last job.
    •Let the employer lead into conversations about benefits. Your focus on these items can be a "turn off." But, don't be afraid to ask questions about things that you really need to know.
    •When discussing salary, be flexible-avoid naming a specific salary. If you're too high, you risk not getting the job. If you're too low, you undersell yourself. Answer questions on salary requirements with responses such as, "I'm interested in the job as a career opportunity so I'm negotiable on the starting salary". Negotiate, but don't sell yourself short.
    Closing the Interview:
    •If the employer does not offer you a job or say when you will hear about it, ask when you may call to find out about the decision.
    •If the employer asks you to call or return for another interview, make a written note of the time, date and place.
    •Thank the employer for the interview and reaffirm your interest and qualifications for the job.
