I have a job interview on Monday for an administrative assistant job at a foreign language center (translations, TEFL certificate, teaches English, etc).
I used the search tool, and the older topics were more for retail jobs which I've had so I know how to dress for those. This place is a more "professional" setting, but the problem is I don't own a suit of any kind. I have nice dress pants and shirts. I know overdressing is better than under dressing, but I don't have money right now to invest in a suit (hence why I need a job -____- ). Would it be okay to do black pants/skirt with a nice top or sweater/cardigan? Are any of the below 'acceptable' for a job interview? This interview is very important to me since it took such a long time to even have someone call back.    If I wear a dress shirt though shouldn't I wear a coordinating suit jacket with it?? Or is it acceptable to wear by itself? Thank in advance.

I really like the first two, they are still professional and corporate looking and would be perfect imo. I think skirts are versatile because you can wear loads of nice dress blouses/knits/tops without having to buy a jacket.
Good luck with the interview |

i'd say go for the second one. It has a toned-down interview look to it.
good luck

they are all pretty ok
but instead of the cardigan, wear a suit jacket it's always better to be over dressed (suits) rather than casual since it's an admin job as opposed to a retail job interview good luck

QUOTE (rantasarus @ Jul 23 2009, 08:23 AM)  first one because darker colors are more professional I agree. And if you do wear a dress, than I believe it should either have sleeves or yes, you should wear a jacket with it. |

The first one should be fine ^o^
I read on the news the other day that a woman failed her interview before she even got to the interview because her clothes were too revealing and she wore too much make up o_o -------------------- |

The third one. It looks most professional, IMO. ^^

I like the styles of the first two, but I think the colors of the first one would be more acceptable. I don't really like the third one, it seems too casual imo. :/

The most professional looking one is the first one.
That choice would be much safer. -------------------- *'^@~-.oO0Oo.-~@^'*\(^0^)/<3<3\(^0^)/*'^@~-.oO0Oo.-~@^'* |

Is that too bright?? humm the tiffany blue might be a bit too bright. depends on your skin colour though. if you are fair to white then you might be able to pull it off. but a darker blue might be better. -------------------- |

I don't think i'd feel comfortable going to a job interview with opened toe shoes. I don't even think i'd wear a skirt. I'd just go with something like #3. Pants and a plain blouse.
If you are going to wear a skirt I think you should wear stockings as well. -------------------- Some say i'm a genius, others say i'm crazy but they all say i'm a little on the weird side |

All of them are nice but I'd say #3 just because pants is safer than skirts.
