I have a general consensus of what to wear to a job interview, but what about a job fair? Some regionals at fairs hire on the spot and some are just their for questions and answers... Is the tradition suit/tie combo still a go?

Unless otherwise states (SWA job fair page says no tie) wear interview attire.

You could always go naked, that will get you more attention than any other person out there.

A common question many candidates have about the interview process is what should I wear. An important thing to remember is that the piloting profession at an airline is much like other jobs when it comes to professionalism and responsibility. Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants all have an established dress code for interviews and conducting daily business.

In interviewer will look at the candidate’s ability to wear a suit as an indication of their ability to conform to a uniform policy, their level of professionalism, and personal demeanor with regard to their professional progression in their career.

Interview apparel, Men:
Black or Navy suit
Black shoes, polished
Red tie (other colors may be worn but should be conservative)
Plain White shirt, pressed
Briefcase or document tote, leather preferred
Limited jewelry (wedding band, college ring, Watch)

Interview apparel, Women:
Black or Navy suit
Pants or Skirt no shorter than knee length
Black shoes, polished
Conservative necklace or scarf
Conservative shirt, pressed
Briefcase or document tote, leather preferred
Limited jewelry (wedding band, college ring, Necklace, Watch)


Good Luck,

I wore a black suit with blue pin stripes, a light blue shirt, and matching jacket... red/blue striped conservative tie. For jewelry, just my pilot watch (I hate jewelry and I'm not married). Hit up JC Penny -- should be able to get everything for under $200 on sale.

What do you guys feels about a charcoal colored suite? It's outside normal funeral colors but looks nice. Do interviewers really care that much about the color other than it is not too flashy?

As long as you look decent, it doesn't matter... I've seen plenty of people wearing lighter colored suits and it looked good... right now, airlines need PILOTS not models. You could show up in an orange tuxedo and a top hat/cane...

Always wear a suit unless they say different.
