What to wear for internship interview?

[Exalya]

Interviews are starting soon for an internship at a hospital that I'm hoping to get (88 clinical-experience hours packed into a month). I'm not sure what would be appropriate to wear, though. Very formal? Less formal? Do I dare ask...? Both undergrads and high school students are applying.

Thanks for any help >.>

Oh, yeah. I'm female.

I wore a skirt with a nice s/s sweater to mine... nothing like a suit for med school but along the same lines as what I would wear to church on Sunday.

for a guy I would recommend slacks and a oxford with a tie.

Suits, suits, suits!! Men or women! You can not go wrong with that. No need to get too "creative", people.

Interviewing for residency is just like interviewing for any professional job. A guy should never wear a tie without a jacket to a job interview unless he is applying for a position at the local Supermarket store.

Depends...Female or male?? Hot or not??

IDeally you should be a hot female showing some cleavage.

According to my pre-med advisor, the female equivalent of the male suit.

Well... it's not for residency or anything. It's the equivalent of a hospital volunteer position. I mean, if it was an interview for med school or residency it would be no question. That's not what I'm talking about.

Honestly I would say the equivalent to a guys nice slacks, button up shirt and maybe a tie...not sure what this would be for a female..

Dressy but not quite at the suit level.

Honestly, you can't go wrong with a suit.

If you really don't want to do that, wear a slim, knee-length skirt with a professional long sleeve button-down shirt, hose, and low heels or nice flats. So basically a skirt suit without the jacket.

But really, what does it hurt to just wear the jacket with it?

What's wrong with asking your interviewer what attire is appropriate?

Well it's hard to say what you should wear without knowing your three sizes... j/k!


But I think for a position like this, a full (female)suit is too much. Maybe not the jacket and just the shirt?
