I have a job interview in an hour .. need clothing help!!

[Kalika]

Hey folks,

 

I have a job interview at a bank and I was wondering if I should go in a suit, or if wearing something nice but casual would be more appropriate. I feel like if I wear the suit, I might be overdressed (everyone else there dresses work-casual).

 

Should I wear a suit, no matter what the work environment there is like??

 

Any quick tips?

 

Thanks in advance

Wear a suit. Navy or black, not brown.

Absolutely the suit. Always dress formally and professionally at any type of job interview.

i read somewhere that you should always dress for one job level ahead of the one you want. go with the suit!! Plus being dressed up will help you feel more confident. Just remember, keep it simple.

 

Good luck!!

I've worn a suit to two interviews during which I was without question over-dressed. I got both jobs though.

 

All else being equal, I'd wear navy before black.

Thanks for the quick replies everyone I'm going with the black suit, like you all suggested.. Too bad it's 90 degrees out Yeesh..

Oh I agree, black first. But either color is good for interviews.

how'd the interview go?

It went really well. The guy interviewing me kept it really casual and laid-back, so it was more chatting back and forth rather than him drilling me.

 

He asked me some "psychology questions" though, which I thought were funny, like:

 

"If you were trying to hide an elephant, where would you hide it?"
