It means just that dress casually, you don't have to wear a suit or really flash clothes.
If it is to hot skip the jacket.

Why Should I Hire You? Job Interview Question and Answers


  • For interviews it is better to err on the side of caution and conservatism. Personally I wouldn't wear jeans even if the staff wear them on a regular basis, but would opt for something slightly less casual. How about if you take a jacket with you, slip it on just before you enter the building and then if it's hot inside, take it off when you have greeted your interviewer and hang it over the back of the chair at the start of the interview.

  • Never wear blue jeans while attending a job interview. Casual job interview attire is not advisable if you are serious in getting the job. Women can wear casual pants with a sweater or blouse, with moderate heeled shoes.
    The general rule is to opt for conservative shades and designs. Bright checked shirts, loud colored blouses, and odd designed dresses are not to be worn at all.

  • The general rule of thumb is to dress a little nicer (more professional) than you would be if you got the job. So, if you know what the people who work there wear, go a little nicer.

  • casual, not too dressed up but look professional, you don't have to go in a suit, but maybe Khaki pants and a nice collar shirt, or jeans and a nice collar shirt is fine too. Good luck

  • You don't need a coat or a tie. Jeans OK as long as they are smart and clean. I wouldn't wear a T shirt for an interview - perhaps one with a collar, or a 'polo shirt'.

  • your stuff is fine.
    maybe replace the jeans with another type of cotton pants.
    but other than that your stuff is great.
    good luck

  • Dress one step above the people who are working there. No jeans, no T-shirt for an interview of this type.
