job interview?

Question

what should i wear to my job interview. i am applying for a position as an accountant. the dress code for the company is smart casual, but should i still wear a suit to the interview?

Answer 1

Dress as if you are representing the accounting department at a fortune 500 meeting. You can convert to casual once you get the job, but you need to go in the door competing. First impressions are lasting ones.

Answer 2

Yes!

It doesn't matter if you are going to a trash heap. YOu still have to dress professional. That's a major reason why people don't get the job because of dress. IT doesn't have to be a two peice suit for all places. SOmetimes a nice shirt and slacks will do. But if it's a business office: go with the suit.

Also remember to turn off you cell phone ( if you have one)
Bring extra copies of your resume.
Bring a list of references ( addresses included)
Show up at least 15 minutes earlier
Firmly shake the interviewers hand
Have good eye contact
And think of some good questions to ask.

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 3

Yes...I have never seen where an employee going the extra mile to impress has ever hurt them.

Now if you show up in a tuxedo with a plate of brownies...then maybe that could backfire.

Be sure to shine those shoes...that is still a favorite of HR people.

The only way I could advise against dressing up in a suit would be if you KNEW that the corporate culture might look down their nose at you. I mean imagine showing up at McDonalds in a suit, for example.

When unsure, error on the side of "man, I really want to show you how much I want this job."

Answer 4

yes, always wear your business finest to the interview. It is not the same as you might be wearing on the job, but it makes a wonderful first impression...

Answer 5

You can't go wrong with a suit unless your are applying at some artsy place.

Answer 6

Suit/tie. You always overdress to impress.
