Job interview dress

[Mandoro]

Ive been looking for tips on how to dress for interview and all I find are for the big time jobs. Wear a nice suit, yada yada...What I am looking for is how to dress for a minimum wage job interview.

 

Ive only had one job at the past and what I wore was a tucked in polo, khakis, brown dress shoes, and a matching belt. What Im thinking of doing this time is going with the same as above, just a button down shirt, tucked in, with the sleeves rolled up to about midway up the forearm. Ive read this as being business casual in some big time workplaces so I thought it might be acceptable.

 

What are your thoughts on it?

No jeans, no shorts/ even if it's minimum wage, at least "impress" til AFTER you get the job.

 

No need for a tie.

 

Good luck!

Well I think the big thing Im worried about is the apperance of the rolled up sleeves in the outfit I stated above? Ive tried to think about it from their point of view and I dont see any negatives, but again Im not an employer by any means.

 

Oh and thanks =)

i dont think you should roll up your sleeves but that's me. Business casual usually means no coat or tie.

I also think you should keep the sleeves down. Then you're golden.

Even for minimum wage job, wear a suit. It shows the prospective employer you want the job and are willing to leave your personal comfort zone to get the job.
