I Was Told To Dress Casual For My Interview
Jeans may be ok for an interview at a startup but make sure they re clean and free from holes or ragged seams you re going for stylish not sloppy and it s still a.
I was told to dress casual for my interview. Although the dress code at some companies can be more casual than other offices in an interview it s especially important to look professional and polished. Guidelines here are looser than for conservative dress. Before choosing an interview outfit research the company to determine how formal their workplace is.
I would wear what makes you most comfortable and what would describe you best. I was thinking of wearing my grey suit and light blue shirt with no tie. They are having me interview virtually for the role and on the information given they said the dress code is comfortable and casual.
Smart casual is a bit less dressy than traditional business casual and a bit more comfortable and practical. The interview dress code isn t so simple or universal these days. You always dress for the job you want.
You can leave the suit at home but don t get out those jeans just yet business casual means no jeans no sneakers and no apparel that would be more appropriate for the gym or the club. Like you i would be used to interviewing in a suit. When told to come casual most of us are entirely unsure of what that means.
A casual jacket or blazer with well pressed trousers or a skirt is a top option. It s a sign of respect for the company. A jacketed tailored dress is a fine choice.
Casual attire for interview originally posted. If you ve checked the company website and social media pages but still can t determine the dress code try calling the company s hr department. I have a virtual interview tomorrow with a large online retailer whose name i don t want to say for a corporate position.
