I might add…even though you will hear that in the interview they may say we are hiring “Captains”….don’t listen to the few that say all the captains wear New Balance shoes with their Levi jeans with NO belt. I wouldn’t show up in that “capt” attire[emoji41]. By the same token, you don’t need to show them how hip of “millennial” you are with a Louis Vuitton murse hung proudly on your shoulder.[emoji27]. Clonish…dare I say even boring, is the go too staple attire….dark suit, white shirt with a conservative tie. That worked 30+ years ago and still applies today. Men’s Warehouse or Macy’s or even Nordstrom sale, off the rack, works well as long as you get a decent fit. Worked for my kids fairly recently with 3 interviews and CJO’s. Kid spent about $200 at Men’s Warehouse and also at Macy’s (not saying you need 2 suits). I also suggest wearing the suit for a few times prior to interview so it feels comfortable…..good luck as show them your best.
This is good advice. Sticking out is not what you want to go for.
