stop the insanity! There's no need to spend $1000 on an interview suit. When I was job hunting a little over a decade ago, I got a good deal on a grey pinstripe suit from Jos. A. Banks. I posted my find on an Internet group I belonged to, and a friend/interview guru pro temps, Lionel Cole, launched into the same "Oh my god!!!" rhetoric, as above because it was not the "uniform" plain blue suit. To make things worse, I ended up interviewing in a pink shirt. Pink. Not on purpose, an ill fitting coffee cup lid and Memphis rush hour drivers conspired to ruin my white shirt on my way to the interview. BUT, one of the interviewing captains happened to be wearing a pink shirt too. I said, "I'm so glad to see that im not the only one in the room wearing a pink shirt." He replied, "I'm so glad to see that someone figured out that we don't give a sh!t what color your shirt is." While I don't recommend wearing a pink shirt per se. Which is to say, don't wear a pink f'ing shirt, the point is, prioritize your limited budget on interview prep, sim prep, a conservative suit that fits your body and your budget, and a hotel room the night before the interview to make sure you're well rested. You'll have plenty of time to show your ability to perform while sleep deprived AFTER you get the job!
