Job Interview Questions: Appropriate job interview attire in heavy snow?

I have a job interview in 3 hours, and we're in the middle of a really heavy snowstorm. Normally I wear a nice pair of heels or flats for an interview, but the snow is up to my knees and its hard enough to keep my balance in boots. In this type of weather, is it acceptable to wear plain black boots (similar to uggs, only cheap) to an interview? What else is acceptable to wear?

If it helps, the job I'm applying for is a sales position at a very popular computer company, represented by a fruit. Aka I want this job very badly! This is the 3rd interview.

Questions to Ask Your Interviewer in the Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
A good employer will understand that you have to wear something appropriate in bad weather so wear your black boots.

  • I would say your best bet is to wear the boots even though you have trouble balancing in them. They will handle the snow better than flats or heels, and it's worth it if you end up getting the job!!

  • i wouldnt wear ugg boots (or anything similar)
    i think they would understand if you wore sneakers or something for your safety in the heavy snow.
    if it snows a lot there you should invest in some Sorels.

  • Just do this: wear the snow boots to the building, bring your heels in an attractive tote, change into the heels in the lobby or bathroom before you enter the interview. You'll look sensible, together, thoughtful and like a rockstar.

    Good luck!

  • Bring a spare pair of your Heels. Change them in the lobby and leave the dirty boots in the closet where they will hang your coat.

    Of course carry them in a bag,

    Good Luck
