Re: Job Interview Today!
Being someone that is doing the interview process right now too, I'd say wearing a tie is always a good idea even if it's not what the "uniform" would be. I'd do the nice pants, button down shirt and a tie. I'm not a dressy type by any means but I make sure that I "clean up nicely" for important situations and a job interview is one of those.
Good luck and I agree with everyone else, be yourself!! I always hated the people that would come in to interview and act one way and then come to work acting and saying the complete opposite. I want them to hire me for who I am and what I do, not for the answers that they want to hear. But then again, I don't like to act, so I am who I am.

---------------------------------- I agree with this, because although the SUIT has not gone out of style for interviews, it is not always necessary or appropriate for all job types, or rather it could be said that in some job types, the interviewer would not be inclined to use that against you provided you wore slacks, a dress shirt and a tie. However, IF YOU LOOK GOOD in a suit, there is no harm in wearing one. I don't. At least not at my current weight. I say keep good eye contact and I agree with small talk, sometimes it is a trap, do not go casual yourself. Sir and Ma'am, never 'yeah' and if you find yourself stuck for a work, 'uh' is a killer. Simply slow down or stop and compose yourself. If 'uh' or 'you know' and the new death word, 'like' pop up in your conversation, you should slow way down and think about what you are doing. It is called in the speech biz a 'verbalized pause', and that's what it is, a pause. So instead of verbalizing it, just pause. The eternity in your head is actually a very short time, lol. |
