should I dress professionally when I go job hunting?

Question

I'm currently looking for a job I know your suppose to where a business suit when interviewing but if your just asking if a place is hiring is it also best to dress up then to?

sorry I ment to say wear not where lol but u get the message

Answer 1

You don't have to wear a suit, but don't go in looking sloppy, either. A nice skirt and top, or dress pants and sweater, would be fine.

Answer 2

I think the generally rule is to dress a little nicer than what you would wear to work there. So, depending on the kind of place you are trying to get a job at, that would influence how you dress. Like, if you were going to McDonald's, don't wear a business suit, just nice clean jeans or slacks and a nice, non-trendy, modest top. Also depends on if you are applying for a job dealing with the public, like a clothing store. They are going to want to see proof that you can look good to represent them well.

Answer 3

I would suggest business casual as first impression is key.

You should ask for the manager on duty, introduce yourself, shake his/her hand and look them in the eye.

Be professional and let them know what you are looking for and how you will be a benefit to their company.

Always end the conversation with "thank you for your time" or "I look forward to speaking/meeting with you soon" and another handshake.

Good luck!

Answer 4

Not necessary that we should be wearing suits seeking or meeting people or simple networking. It is better to wear formal office wear for these occasions.

Answer 5

you don't have to wear a business suit.

i usually wear flats, nice pants and a button up shirt for both the hunt and interview.

Answer 6

Yes, first impressions make a difference. I wouldn't go door to door to ask if people are hiring.
