I'm 17, and I have my first job interview ever at ShopKo on Friday. The only problem is that I don't know what appropriate attire for an interview is. What am I supposed to wear?
VainTaraLynn answered Friday August 12 2005, 9:51 pm: I wore black dress pants, and a white button up shirt for my interview. It actually just depends on the place. I really dont know what shopko is, but white dress shirts and black slacks always look good together, and really nice. [ VainTaraLynn's advice column | Ask VainTaraLynn A Question ]

You don't need to wear a tie or suit jacket, if that's what it is, only a button down shirt and dress pants (or skirt if you are a girl). I hope I helped!

devilspawn_666 answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 2:35 pm: A good way to go about dressing for an interview is to not wear anything less dressy than the people who work there. I would reccomend wearing something nice, but not too dressy. Like, a button up shirt and nice pants. Anything that's excessiveley trendy, tight, loose, or sloppy is probably going to lose the job for you. [ devilspawn_666's advice column | Ask devilspawn_666 A Question ]

TheOldOne answered Wednesday August 10 2005, 2:00 pm: You can never go wrong by dressing conservatively for an interview, unless it's at a fast-food place or a farm. :D
Generally that means to dress as if you were going to church, or to a wedding. For men, that usually means a dress shirt, conservative tie, slacks, and dress shoes; a matching blazer or a suit is even better.
For women, dark skirts longer than knee-length and a relatively simple and conservative blouse. Alternatively dark pants are also usually fine.
It's a good idea to take a look at the people who work there, and dress at LEAST as conservatively as they do.
