What is an appropriate form of dress for an interview for part time work at a Dog & Cat kennel?

Question

I want to look presentable and professional, but I also don't want to give the impression that I'm a princess who doesn't like to get her hands dirty

Answer 1

I would wear the tabby cat fur jacket, matched nicely with your doberman leather pants and staffy skin boots.

Seriously though, jeans & a nice top should suffice. Good luck., my mum set up a cat shelter in Portland vic 20 years ago and it is still running now, and a big success..

Have a good week mate P

Answer 2

Six weeks is a long time. You didn't mention whether this is the first time they have been boarded. My advice is that she shouldn't visit. It will be too confusing to her animals and other animals will bark at her (a stranger) causing further upset to her own animals. They may mope for a day or so, then they will settle into the kennel routine. If she is really unsure of how they will handle it, she can leave emergency numbers with the kennel so, if her animals have anxiety problems, the kennel operator can contact her. Otherwise, she can call the kennel occasionally to see how they are doing. Do not go in person. As a long-time kennel manager of my Mom's kennel (50 yrs. in operation), we tell first-time boarders when they send their animals to the kennel: 1.) If you will be boarding a long time, plan an "overnight" before you board for a long period of time so that the animal experiences going to the kennel and the reinforcement - within 24 hrs. - of you coming to get it. Then, when the longer stay is necessary, they will understand that they are only visiting for awhile, rather than anticipating abandonment, and will be more at ease. This is particularly important if she got the animals from a shelter. 2.) When you take the animals to the kennel, we instruct the owners to take an old t-shirt and wear it while working out, gardening or doing something that causes them to perspire. Don't wash the shirt; then send it with their pet. It will have your scent and will reassure the animal during its kennel experience.

Answer 3

I would wear nice, sturdy black pants and a nice dress shirt, sensible shoes. It's important to look professional and mature for an interview, but still keep in line with the environment of the workplace. Stay away from skirts and dress blazers.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Always check out the place... Go one dress code up above how they are dressing.

If they are in shirts and a t-shirt. You go with jeans and a polo shirt. If they are in slacks and button up shirt. You go with slacks and a die ie dress ect in your case.

Dress a little bit better then how they dress up only one grade up.

Know your job you dont interview at mcdonalds in a dress or a suit. I would say Jeans and a nice shirt is more then enough.

Answer 5

As a general rule you are apporaching a business, dress for an interview, business wear, pants/skirt shirt jacket. rember you can always dress down just by taking off the jacket, but by dressing up you are showing respect for the position and the employer. cheers

Answer 6

Most wear khakis or jeans and a medical top at work.

I would wear clean, pressed khakis and a polo or blouse and flats. This is not a time to wear your best black suit and pearls. Good luck!

Answer 7

I would wear what your future co-workers where to work each day. My guess would be good repair, clean jeans and a plain, meaning no logos, collared shirt.

Good luck on your interview. :-)
