Yeah I made a mistake today—had a great interview, but went in flip flops (they were nice but still) , dark colored capris and a shirt that showed one of my tattoos. i didnt have any time in the morning since i had a problem athome (it always happens the day of the interview you know) . i’m only 19 and have difficulty dressing up –i’m a casual young person, you know? Well it was at Starbucks, nothing fancy of course, but still… the manager told me that i did really well on my interview with communicating, remembering, etc BUT that I should pay mind to dressing for interviews, especially in future in case i don’t get this job. he seemed understanding and like he was trying to help but still all day ive been self conscious and paranoid about my looks and about the way i dressed. YIKES i really hope i get the job anyways though. He said i did well otherwise. I very much need ajob…

There are all sorts of dresses, in all sorts of lengths, so regardless of height, there should be a dress for your niece to buy for the interview. Our dress code for work includes absolutely no:
* shorts
* shirts, tops or dresses showing cleavage
* sandals or flip-flops
* Capris that are not a business matched suit
* Jewelry that is offensive, gets in the way of normal business (or looks tacky–I added this one).
* Excessive make-up
I still believe a professional look says “professional” respect and respect for one’s self.

I have a question. I’m helping my twenty-something niece w/shopping for an interview. She is interviewing for a tutor/teacher position. This wouldn’t be a prob except she is 5’4″ and very very heavy (top and middle). What can I suggest for her (I’m from the 70′s-80′s navy suit era which would not be appropriate for today’s young people)…help!

Great post. This makes me think of my designated “interview suit” that I bought right after graduating. It fit well then, but I’ve since lost some weight (no more midnight pizza runs) and it’s baggy. I suppose I have to either get it tailored or buy a new suit.

Good post. During the last series of interviews I did, a candidate for a sales position showed up with sunglasses and did not take them off. Hungover, on drugs, perhaps extremely sensitive eyes or just an oversight. That must be another one of those Zuckerberg things.
