I have an interview tomorrow for a Teaching Assistant position, what am I supposed to wear?

Question

I have a suit, but i dont think I need to wear the suit for a TA position.

Its a elementary school

Answer 1

You want to be very professional. I would suggest a black pant suite with a nice soft color button up shirt. Even though this position is TA position, you don't want to minimize its importance. Treat the interview as you would if you were going for the teacher's position.

Good luck to ya!

Answer 2

First, find out the usual dress expectations for the company and/or area you are interviewing for. I am an admin. asst. for a large, worldwide company. The assistants in the larger office buildings dress up a little more...I work in a modular office building (trailer) "in the field". Most of our high paid administrators wear jeans almost every day. I usually wear crop pants, or slacks, and jeans once or twice a week. They do not expect you to dress up here. In today's world, most do not expect women to come in dresses, hose, and heels. Make sure to dress in a way that you are comfortable and at ease. When in doubt, go toward the "casual office" look. Good luck!!

Answer 3

Nice pants, nice shirt. No perfume. (too much is an instant turn-off to interviewers) Be really clean and well groomed. Take your best smile along!

Answer 4

Nicely dressed. For a woman, a dress, skirt and nice blouse, slacks and nice shirt.

For a guy, Dockers and long-sleeved shirt with a tie.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 5

Wear your suit Sweetie! Any formal clothing would be suitable, however, if you have a suit why not wear it? First impression is the last impression remember!!!

Answer 6

have you got dressy trousers and a nice comfortable blouse as that should be sufficient. As long as you are clean tidy and respectable it shouldn't matter too much as long as you don't wear really short skirt or jeans
