Black, Navy Blue or neutral suit. Your blouse can be nearly any colour that makes your complexion look good. No cleavage please and no see through.

I am a secretary for an administrator at a hospital and you would be safe wearing some kind of slacks, not anything too tight, and a nice shirt. Doesn't matter what color you wear as long as you look professional. Try just going in to the office a day or 2 before your interview to see what the rest of the people employed there are wearing just to get an idea on how casual or how professional they dress.

As alot of the people said, wearing black is probably your best bet. I always try to pick one accessory that kind of standsout and "makes" the outfit. Like a scarf (around waist, neck or even as headband), big funky bracelet, or other fun piece of jewelry. But don't wear more than one of the above...This will show your individuality and possibly set you apart from your competition, without looking too gaudy.

Oh, and make sure your eyebrows are freshly waxed and/or cleaned up. A friend of mine got called out by interviewer for having unruly brows!!

Dark colors (navy, black) or something neutral (grey, tan) are good. According to my mom (she used to interview ppl) and some other people in management positions...do not wear a skirt or tight fitting suit. you are not trying to show off your body. wear a form fitting pant suit (especially if you have ankle tats)....its more presentable and smart looking than a skirt suit. save those for after you get the job ;)

Yeah I'd say go in a couple days or a day before your interview & check out what the employees' styles, see how casual/ professional they're dressed. If you aren't able to then wear nuetrals, maybe a neutral suit & a colored shirt< just to show you have personality without overwhelming them.

As far as color goes you know what looks best on you so i would do that, And If you usually dont wear suits you can do a suit jacket with dark jeans and maybe a tigt tee under or a button up...but don be afraid to wear color though.Good luck!

I would say a black suit with a white button down shirt underneath, or if the suit is too formal then just the black pants, white shirt. Wear your hair neat and do not put on too much makeup, look natural.

Wear a basic color such as black, Grey or navy blue and add a slash of color by accessorizing , or a brighter colored shirt. This makes you stand out, shows personality and confidence.
Make sure you smell good too. I like that when I am interviewing people. Remember that scent is also linked to memory.

depends on the company. when i was in college i went to an interview wearing ripped jeans and a tank top at a corporate-type company that later on required me to wear trousers and/or suit to work and been hired on the spot.

it was an impulse interview (reading help wanted ad at a cafe down the block, i called them up and they told me to come right away) lol

it all depends on the company though

Color does not matter. Wear a suit. They sell really cute suits for Juniors that are stylish, but professional. I generally wear a black suit with a bright colored shirt and a fun necklace. I'm 24. Also, they are more interested in who you are rather than what you are wearing. You need to make a good impression. Be confident, but not cocky.

Short skirt, high heels, low cut blouse, attratcive or (even better)no undergarments. I have hired several admins (replacing them when a promote the last one), and I am looking for someone committed to keeping me happy... Dressing like that is a sure way to demonstrate that the job condidate is flexible, eager, fun, and knows what an executive's priorities are.
