I have an interview coming up with a large non-profit organization. I have a black suit that i could wear but since it is summer and VERY hot here in California, I was wondering what other things I could wear. Thanks!

I was reading it like crazy before I got the job I have now. I still dress professionally even though I didn’t have to have an interview since it is a work-study job that goes along with my college. Most of the time I dress more professional than the other girls that I work with but I would rather be dressed better than someone else than worse and risk looking sloppy.

The following are accepted standards in the job market. Follow them if you want to make a positive first impression. These guidelines will of course vary from country to country and the type of job you are applying for. The best way to find out how you should dress up for an interview is to dress a little bit higher than the employees you would be working with.
Women:
· Don't wear your skirts too short or too tight, heels to high, or blouses too low and too sheer.
· Skip the loud nail colors and long nails. Keep your makeup subtle.
· Carry an extra pair of stockings just in case and wear them, even in the summer.
· Don't wear too much jewelry; keep it simple. Don't wear lots of earrings.
· Conservative blouse and suit, with skirt not too short, sensible heels, subtle make up and jewelry. Fill only one hole with earrings if you have many. Never wear large hoop earrings.
Everyone
· If you think you need a haircut, get one.
· Don't splash on too much perfume or aftershave. Many people are allergic to scents.
· Don't wear a nose ring.
· Take a shower that morning and wear a deodorant.
· Polish your shoes and press your clothes the night before.
· Absolutely don't chew gum or smoke.
· If you suffer from sweaty palms, keep a handkerchief with a little baby powder or cornstarch in it. Before your interview, go into the restroom and dry your hands with it.
· Go to the interview alone. Don't bring a friend or relative.
· Get a good night's sleep the night before.
Peace and every blessing!

Wear the suit but only put the jacket on after you are in the building. Wear a cool blouse under it so you don't die in the heat. The interview will probably be in a air conditioned office.

I would go with the suit, regardless if you live in CA, I live in CA also and I would be able to wear a suit, it's not that bad. Put your jacket on as soon as you get off the car don't wear it on in the car.

I think you should wear a pear of black capris but definitely not jean capri,and the shirt you should wear a light pink shirt but long sleeved and the shoes you should wear a pair of black high heals!!,and wear your hair down and nice and neat not all frizzy or anything!WELL HOPE THIS HELPS!!!!!!!
