Job Interview Questions: I have a job interview what should i wear?

honestly i don't like to dress up as like the office lady i know people dress so fancy for the job interviews like guys wear tuxedos etc i know i got to dress up so nicely i honestly don't want to wear dress pants is there any other choices of course i want to impress but i don't want to be so fancy.

Do You Make Any of These Top 5 Job Interview Mistakes?



Recommended Answer:
A conservative skirt, pencil skirts are really in right now, and a dressy blouse paired with a jacket. Wear heels, but not too outrageously high one and always wear stockings or pantyhose for an interview. You want to look professional and business-like. Avoid wearing pants, there really are still employers who frown upon it, even though they allow their female employees to wear them. It's always best to look more conservative on an interview than you would actually look everyday at the office should you get the job.

How To Dress For A Job Interview-6 Simple Tips For Success


  • I know you would not like to dress up, but if you really want this job it is a necessity. Try a black or grey pencil skirt or straight leg dress pants. You can pair both options with a pair of black heels. For your top, choose a light neutral colored jacket. Wear a colored camisole underneath to really make the outfit "pop". Good luck and I hope this helps!
    P.S. For your hair, wear straighten it and wear it back in a high pony tail or curl it and leave it down.

  • Well I do recommend you to wear anything but noo sign or anything because you decide not to wear tuxedo or dress really nicely.
    and you should probably wear a jacket that kinda look like a tux but not exactly like a tux. and you wanna dress more like a grown up (if you haven't been dressing like a grow up your whole life)

  • You definitely want to look nice for an interview so they can see you as a professional type of person.
    Right now, high waisted skirts/pencil skirts are very fashionable. They are all over and I'm sure you could find an affordable, nice one like so:

    and if you do choose to wear this kind of skirt, you definitely want to add something lively and colorful on top like so:
    bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/pro…
    and of course tucked into the skirt.
    A belt like pictured in the skirt picture would be nice, a darker grey or black one medium sized would be just right.
    For shoes, appropriate but comfortable professional shoes are sometimes hard to come by, but go to our local DSW or even Target and they usually stock nice looking comfortable shoes.
    Hope that helps!
    :) good luck.

  • I think you should be your self it dosent matter how you look it matters if you feel confidence in your self just where what you where.

  • A skirt suit or conservative dress. Ladies should always wear skirts to interviews.

Job Interview Questions: What is a second job interview like?

The employer said that she was interviewing 6 people then narrowing it down to 2 for the second interview. I made it to the second interview. She said the director will be sitting in as well as another co-worker. What can I expect?

Is it easier or harder? Do I send a thank-you note again?

First Job Interview After Graduating - How to Prepare Even If You've NEVER Had a Job! (Part One)


  • The second interview means they are interested in you and are going to choose between you and the other person or choose both of you.

    The first interviewer meets you and if they think you should be hired they will give you a second interview so you can convince the other managers that you are indeed good for the job. Just do what you did the first time and be confident and don't tell any jokes.

Job Interview Questions: What should a middle-aged woman wear to a job interview?

Just got laid off...will be looking for work for the first time in about 10 years. These will be administrative/executive assistant type positions. What would be a good interview outfit? Are slacks OK these days? My hair is long and straight...would tying it in a loose ponytail look too severe? I don't want to look seductive either, but I realize young women these days consider that a job skill!

The Ten Rules For a Great Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
Any lady over 30-35 that has long hair should wear it up or back, off her face. A nice suit is fine, go easy on the makeup, very light, and use little to no perfume and very little jewelry. None is best because many people have allergies.

Do You Need Job Interview Coaching?


  • Suit with skirt, pantsuit, slacks with a nice blouse. Ponytail is fine. You don't want to look totally boring but you don't want to look seductive either.
    Lol @ what you said about a job skill.

  • I agree with Spindrif except for the jewelry a few accessories will show your confidence

Job Interview Questions: What is the best answer to give when asked for weaknesses during job interview?

I hate this freaking question!! I never know what to say...I'm always afraid the answer I give will be used against me, aaahhh! And why some companies want 2 answers? Job interviews are jokes! I am applying for Admin/Office job

Job Interview Skills: Increase Your Skills In This Vital Area!



Recommended Answer:
The trick for most interview questions is to deflect it in some manner.

If I'm asked what my weakness is, I'll answer something like, "I tend to get frustrated when my coworkers don't complete their work and I have to finish it for them."

I was asked in an interview how I handled a crisis, (something that goes with my job). I told him of a situation I dealt with (very well) and then I said, "How would you have handled it"? He fumbled around for a minute and said, "We'd be hosed".

The idea is to be prepared to turn your answer away from yourself to another direction. Don't badmouth coworkers, just imply that you don't want to do their work too.

How to Master a Job Interview


  • 'i tend to piss on the floor when i go to the lavs but apart from that i dont have any weaknesses'

  • I would say "my biggest weakness is that I'm too accommodating sometimes, and just don't know when its best to put myself first"

    If you cant dazzle em with diamonds, baffle em with bullshit.

  • Personally, (don't know if this will apply for you) the answer I give is this,

    "My greatest weakness is currently that I am younger than most of the other applicants. Often employers prefer to select people who have been in the working force a few more years than I have, even though I am equally qualified for the position. While I am younger and may have less experience, I have much ambition, and am a quick study."

    Being young, is not an answer they are expecting, but it's definitely true. It's hardly the fault of the person, but many times employers pick someone that's in their late 20s-30s over someone that's a recent graduate, or younger. I figure that way, it's an honest answer, it doesn't reflect negatively on me, and maybe it will make them feel guilty if they want to hire someone older than me.

  • "Chocolate is my weakness."

Job Interview Questions: Do you think women and men are treated eqqually in job interview and the working environment?

there is a study show that women have consistently earned only about 78 cents for each dollar earned by men.

the question is
do you think women and men are treated eqqually in job interview and the working environment? and does the discrepancy between men's and women's salaries still exist?

How to Handle a Courtesy Job Interview



Recommended Answer:
That overused statistic does not prove that women are discriminated against, it only states a fact. I don't believe that there is widespread discrimination against women. Women earn less than men because many women choose their families welfare over their careers, while most men put their career first.

The difference in pay used to be much greater, but it has shrunk as so many young women in the last two decades have established a career before having children. It seems like some women are always looking for reasons to be angry at men.

    Job Interview Questions: How do I dress business for a job interview?

    I have a job interview and the dress code is BUSINESS not business casual.

    What is the difference between business and business casual?

    Interview Skills You Need To Succeed In a Job Interview



    Recommended Answer:
    Business usually implies wearing a suit, business casual is what people wear everyday at work. Nowadays though (especially for women) you dont have to wear a full matching suit. You could mix and match a suit jacket with plain black dress pants or a black skirt.

    For a job interview, you want to make a good professional impression so this is what I suggest (what I've successfully worn at my job interviews!):

    - wear a pinstripe business jacket (black, dark grey or navy colour)
    - a white/ivory or light pastel blouse
    OR
    - a white/ivory or light pastel camisole
    - a black pencil skirt that touch your knees
    - black pumps (not more than 3 inches!!! You dont wanna look like a stripper LOL ;))

    Add simple accessories (small pearl neckclace or small studded earrings) and make sure your hair is tied up. Interviewers want to see your face so if you have bangs or your hair is long, make sure you clip it aside or put it in a professional bun/ponytail. Most importantly, SMILE and be confident! Hope that helps, good luck!

    Answer Any Job Interview Question and Get Hired


    • Don't wear jeans. I would recommend wearing a pair of slacks with a button down shirt and some pumps. Or if you have a suit or something then wear that.

    good luck!!

    The CAR Method Is An Effective Job Interview Technique


    • My usual interview outfit was black dress pants, low black heels, and a nice blouse or classy sweater. With minimal jewelry. My hair always goes up and I wear minimal makeup. It shows that I understand what's not allowed in the working environment, but I dress up a bit for the formality of the interview.

    • No jeans, dress pants and a nice shirt.

      Make sure you bring a pen

    • tank top and shorts
