There's this administrative assistant position on a university campus career center. What should I wear for the interview? I'm a male. Do I have to wear a suit? Can I just wear nice dress pants, shirt and a tie instead? And what should I bring? A notebook folder for my resume or a shoulder bag?

A suit isn't necessary for this, but if you have one that's appropriate, why not impress them? Also, I think a business portfolio is best, but maybe that's the same as a notebook folder. A shoulder bag may not make the right impression at a university if students commonly use them as book bags.

I think you can never over dress for an interview. It will show them that you really care about the position. But if the weather is too hot, I think you can get by with a shirt and tie.
I think a notebook folder would be good because it looks more organized.

A suit and your resume no shoulder bag just the smallest folder that will hold a resume, no decorations on folder like a peeche but plain.

Wear a suit. No danger of being overdressed for an interview. Carry your papers in a zipper type attache' case. They are looking for a professional person.

Wear something low key not too flashy or tight. Maybe a nice pair of pants and a nice shirt and tie.

for each interview that i've got long undergone, i've got continually worn a healthful with tie and continually have been given the job. the only time i did no longer grew to become into as quickly as I utilized as a cook dinner. For the healthful, it is going to continually be the two army or Black in shade with matching gown shoes. For the tie, maximum suitable colors are the two blue, black or crimson. frequently crimson ties are considered "capability" ties.
