Job Interview Questions: Teenage Job Interview Attire?

Hey, I was wondering what I should wear to a job interview. It's just for a part time job at a grocery store, so I thought dressing completely formal might make me look really out of place (the people who work there usually wear slacks and a collared shirt), but at the same time, I don't want to look too casual. I was going to wear a pair of somewhat dark (not baggy, clean, no styled holes, etc.) blue jeans, and a long sleeved, black, collared shirt. Do you think the jeans are too casual? Blehhhh. xO

The Proper Instruments For Passing the Job Interview

Recommended Answer:
Well, jeans are usually a no no. Stick with the shirt and go with some slacks.
But, you're right about not being totally formal. No tie or blazer or anything. Make sure you are clean and well groomed and everything. But do not load up in cologne or any other smelly stuff.

Good luck kid! :)

Job Interview Advice - How to Properly Prepare for a Job Interview and Get Hired

• i actually disagree with everyone else. i think dark blue jeans and a collared shirt would be perfect. i'm not sure about black though... the reason i disagree is that at a grocery store they want you to look like you can look well groomed but still get your hands dirty. if you look like you are going to the prom they will think your mother got you this job and you lack experience. its always good to dress up one level from what you will be wearing at work. khaki is always fine though no matter what the occassion. so maybe try to match the pants that are typical with your new workplace and wear a nicer shirt. that way you will look like you could jump in and start working immediately and you still look professional like they are lucky to have you


• Ok if you wear jeans they will definitely not hire you. That is not prefessional. Wear exactly what the employees are wearing. A polo shirt and black pants.


• You pretty much answered your question when you said that "the people who work there usually wear slacks and a collared shirt."
  
  Jeans are usually a no-no for job interviews, and you definitely don't want to dress more casual than the people who work there.
  
  Wear the collared shirt, but pair it with slacks instead.
