I'm going to be interviewing in the Northeast (PA, NY, MD) and want to know what to wear for the interviews. It's a bit more laid back here in Seattle with our wardrobes I suspect. Is it a sea of gray suits or what?
I'd like to hear from people that have previously interviewed only please.
This post probably did not get any responses because the answer to the stated question is obvious tio most. Consider it like your medical school interview and wear a suit. If you cannot afford a suit, a nice sports coat should do. Good luck.
I guys I am new to this circuit. Can anyone please help me know where to buy a nice suit. I am having trouble finding a place with a reasonable price, any suggestions.
I personally like Jos A. Banks. There are many other places including department stores (e.g. Macy's, Dillards, etc...). Don't forget to try the Men's Wherehouse. I personally think a suit is a future investment so I would avoid stores like K&G where you can buy a suit for a hundred buck. Hence, you get what you pay for. Good luck with your interviews.
If you have a couple of nickels to rub together, then srping for a nicer, tailored suit. Not only will it look nicer on you; but it will also fit better and therefore not cause you to fidget & squirm cause your pants are riding up your ass or your crotch is hanging half-way to your knees.
Ideally, your suit should not be what the interviewer focuses upon. The focus is you, your application, qualifications and your presentation --> YOU! Personally, I picked up two suits, Men's Wearhouse frequently has 2 for 1 sales as does many other men's clothiers, and both were tailored to fit me nicely. Then, for a personalized touch...HATE looking like a funeral home director or any one of those plug 'N' play "power" business suits (dark suit, white shirt & stick-in-the-ass conservative tie)...I chose bold shirt colors w/ coordinating ties that complemented my suits. That made it easier to pack for multi-interview trips.
