Job Interview Questions: What to wear to job interview in biology lab?

I have an interview as a research associate (therefore entry level) in a biology lab. People at this company and in my city/region tend to dress extremely casually. As a woman, I don't exactly have a suit laying around and I'm pretty sure I'd look overeager and overdressed in one. Do you think gray slacks + white shirt + blue sweater + black flats would be appropriate or should I go drop $300 on a suit which I will never wear again??

I remember that I didn't wear a suit for interview for the lab. I had slick pants, casual top and a jacket on. It works.

Get Hired Fast & Earn More - Top 5 Job Interview Tips

• I don't care how casually they all dress for work--they're already hired. The way people who are already employed normally dress every day at work is irrelevant to how YOU should dress in going in for a job interview. You need to dress as nicely as you can, as conservatively as possible. You may feel you're overdressed, but for an interview you're not. Once you're hired it's a different story--as casual as everyone else, but right now, you're NOT like everyone else there, 'cause they're on the inside and you're not. From your description, it sounds like what you propose to wear is probably ok, but if you don't feel that what you have is good enough, then yes, you should drop some dough on nice dress or semi-dress clothes--it's an investment--you'll probably make all that money back with your first paycheck, and you can't predict with any certainty that you'll never wear them again, but if you want to get hired in the first place, you want every advantage you can get.


• I've had many job interviews in the science field. Working in a lab you dress very casually because you are working with chemicals and samples that will just chew away and destroy your clothing. What you describe is exactly what I always wore to my interviews for jobs and graduate school, and I think it is definitely acceptable. No need to drop $300 on a suit. I've seen some people wearing dirty old converse and emo jeans, some people in full on suits and I've even seen someone wear a mini skirt with high heels, lol, but I think presenting yourself in slacks and a nice sweater with flats (no heels) will be a great first impression. You want to look sophisticated and smart, you don't want to look extremely laid back or like you are trying too hard to impresss.
  
  BTW what is a research associate? Do you have a PHD? I have always seen people at the PHD level wearing suits for interviews or seminars, but never for lab tech or graduate student positions.

Nervous About an Upcoming Job Interview? Just Focus on the Three Interview Objectives

• WHEN U GO TO INTERVIEW JUST COOLMIND
  DONT ACT TO BE OVERSMART .AND UR DRESS.


• don't wear cologne. Make good eye contact. If the interviewer drops something, pick it up. Show up 5 min early. Wear brown or khaki. Be ver cordial to everyone in the establishment as he/she may be observing your interactions with others. Avoid religion and politics.


• Walk in with confidence (in your dress, your walk, your talk and your posture). A firm handshake with your introduction. Sit straight, do not fold your arms, play with your hands or bounce your foot. Don' fidget. If you have questions you save them for the end. Let the interviewing person interview.


• Make eye contact, but don't stare too long....you don't want to intimidate the interviewer...
  
  Strong handshake, but again, don't crush his/her hand. And give your hands a quick wipe before you go in, in case you're nervous and they're sweaty.
  
  Don't fidget, and don't bouce your legs or anything like that....show you're confident and relaxed. Don't slouch...And get a good night sleep, and be awake for a while before you go in....yawning is a big negative in an interview....shows you're not interested, or not reliable enough to come in fresh and at your best.
  
  Show up 5-10 minutes early, but no earlier than 15 minutes early....any earlier than that, and it shows you don't respect their schedule. They gave you a set time to come in, so come in at the right time...but if they say 8am....don't show up at 8am either...or def not at 8:05


• You are clearly an articulate and intelligent chap, i think you will be just fine:)
