What should I wear to my job interview?

Question

So i'm only a 15 year of girl, and I applied for a job at this amusement park called Hershey Park. So i'm not sure what I should wear. Something semi-formal, or like wear my normal clothes. My interview is on Thursday.

Please help =]

Answer 1

The look you want is called "business attire" - a nice skirt or slacks, a professional-looking top that doesn't show every bit of cleavage, modest jewelry, pumps or flat shoes, and perhaps a jacket or sweater to dress it up a bit. Of course you'll be well groomed, clean hair and nails, minimal makeup, etc.

Impressing an interviewer is not like impressing a date at a club. I once interviewed a woman with (I swear) 50 piercings in her ears. Guess what I spent the interview doing - not listening to her qualifications while I was counting the holes in her ears. Keep it low key and professional so the focus is on you and your skills.

Ah...Pennsylvania...ummm I would probably wear something somewhat business like. Since it's an amusement park, they're not going to look for someone in a suit but they also won't want people in jeans either. I used to work in HR and hire people ...for the corporate world but a good thing to do is basically wear something where you can't really tell the personality of the person? Like not alot of jewelry, black slacks or skirt and a white work shirt....not sure if that makes sense. Best of luck!

Answer 3

I would dress as if you are going to church or an awards presentation at school. Not formal, but professional enough where you are clearly taking this job seriously as an adult.

They can always tell you at the interview/training that your uniform will be provided, etc. So I would wear either a suit set with jacket and slacks, or a plain skirt if you prefer.

And don't forget the smile, firm handshake, and thanks.

Answer 4

I'd wear dockers or khaki pants, with casual shoes (no sneakers). Casual top (not a t-shirt).

I'm going to Hershey Park next month! Hope to see you there!

Answer 5

i would wear black pants and a shirt. i know alot of 15 yr olds wear accessories. we had a girl who had an interview and she wore all black with a big thick red belt, thick red bangle and red beads. i can only suggest not to do anything like that because it does not look professional at all. stick to the basics and you will be fine :)

Answer 6

First impression is everything. If the job is between you and someone that showed up in a nice dress, I would give the job to the better dressed person.
Give them every reason to chose you for the job, don't give them a reason NOT to give it to you.

Answer 7

You should wear something appropriate, like , not too revealing. It really matters about the impression you make. Have a firm handshake, extra fresh breath, good eyecontact, and don't say "UMM" too much. Good luck =)

Answer 8

absolutely no jeans, t-shirts-, baggy clothes, flip-flops, or hats. dress for church, and say yes mam/sir, no mam/sir. smile alot and ask them questions about the job you'd be doing. take it from me, as recruiter if some one shows up in jeans and a t-shirt i won't interview them. it's a respect thing, it shows you care about the job that you're trying to get and that you're a go-getter.

Answer 9

i would wear khakis or black pants with a nice sweater and of course jewelry=) and for shoes, wear something nice with just a little heel. its better to be a little overdressed for an interview, cuz it shows them that you care.

Answer 10

yeh do like casual but not too casual. Keep in mind of wat you would wear to ur grandmas get wat i mean? like formal but not way over the top. I think chords or dress pants and a button up shirt with a cami under would look nice. Then wear nice shoes and not like grimy sandals. Keep hair and maekup simple.
