what should i bring and how should I dress to a job interview?

Question

I am straight out of college and I have this interview for a systems analyst position. I would like to know what should I bring other than my resume to to the interview. Please tell me how I should dress.

Answer 1

You mentioned you know to take your resume, but just in case - take more than one! Just in case the interviewer has another person in there with them, or if things go well decides to introduce you to someone else who might be interested in seeing your resume.

Good luck!

Answer 2

I recently got accepted in this IT position. They pay well. My advice is to bring a decent pen, a memo pad that you can write on, copy of reference and copies of transcripts, diploma/degree, certificates, etc. so if the interviewer ask them you can hand that in right away. Dress code must be conservative and neat as possible. Groom your hair. Necktie and long sleeve, conservative in colour. No cartoon like neckties. Shine your shoes. No offensive cologne or don't wear at all but be sure to take a shower. Trim your fingernails. Brush you teeth. No chewing gums. Iron your clothes. Look smart and be professional. Be prepared. Remember that an interviewer can tell within 5 minute of meeting up if you're hired or not. So be cool and be there 5-10 mins before the interview time and not 15 mins! Never, never be late. Good luck to you!

Answer 3

Wear a dark suit with a light shirt and a nice tie. Make sure your shoes are shiny, your nails are clean, your hands are lotioned, your teeth are clean, your hair is in place, and your face is neatly trimmed. As for what else to bring besides your resume, a notepad to take down notes (for the intelligent questions you will ask during the interview) and of course, bring your confidence. Don't forget to do your research on the company, too. Good luck.

Answer 4

I would wear a dark suit. The chances that you will be interviewed by a person wearing a suit are good. You don't want to appear to casual. Make sure your clothes are pressed and your shoes are shined. (people tend to forget to spiff up their shoes.) I am employed with a major software developer and we are very casual in the workplace, but people who interview with us come dressed to impress. Bring with you any contact information you will need if you haven't already completed your application. You know, reference information, past employer information, education information, with all the phone numbers and addresses. Bring a couple of your own pens. Make sure you have proper ID too.

Good luck. :)

Answer 5

alright depending on what position your going for i would were the following in general:

nice suit not too busy but try not to make it too plain either unless you have a fancy tie on...(must achieve balance)

try not to wear too much because you dont want to be real sweaty, (trust me youll be sweaty)

you might want to keep a pen with you and keep it in a quick easy access pocket so if the interviewers pen dies on him your ready to go with your fast access pen (thats an awesome way to make a good first impression)

dont wear anything you feel clumsy in, chances are you could either trip or concentrate on how funny you feel and miss out on a valuable question.

In conclusion I would say follow the 3 P's of work

be Prepared - always be ready for error
be Patient - take things slow and think things out
and be Proud - dont mumble or stutter, act like your glad to be yourself and that you wouldnt have it any other way.

good luck dude, hope you get the job

Answer 6

Wear a nice suit, black or dark gray.
Bring copies of your resume so that you can give a copy to the interviewers, and a list of your references. You might also have a list of any work history, contacts, etc.

Answer 7

wear a suit. dark colors are good. wear a nice pressed shirt and tie. tie need not be wacky or too many designs, keep it nice and simple with a simple design. bring something to write on like if you have a small portfolio or something. i used to recruit and interview for a large corp so yeah.

Answer 8

Dont dress casually. Dress like maybe in some black slacks, some nice dress shoes, a tie if youd like, and a nice polo or long sleeved buttoned shirt. Dont forget the belt!
