[Jand3rson]

Wear a pair of old pants covered in paint and a wife beater. Worked for Will Smith.

go gangster and overdress in a pinstripe suit

in the finance world - that's the SOP. not overdressed at all.

[uofom3]

dark, DARK navy suit with fine pin stripes (hardly noticeable)... white shirt... tie of your choice that matches the remainder with a black belt and shoes (obviously).

[Mtriple]

Well, depending on your employment history, you either have one suit which has been worn once, or a bunch of 'em :mrgreen:

Jon

yup, I have a few...

[robtech]

general rule of thumb...

DRESS FOR THE JOB YOU WANT!

that means suit & tie the whole 9 yards...no cologne...and definately bring several copies of your resume with you and give a fresh one (printed on nice paper) to ever membver of their interview board. even if they have one it makes a big impression...the suit should hide any visible tattoos (if you have ur neck/hands/knuckles inked you cant really hide those

I ALWAYS go out and buy a new suit when I have an interview.

No such thing as overdressing to an interview. I ALWAYS go out and buy a new suit when I have an interview.

[LINUS]

Go ahead and overdress. Let your choice of clothing tell them that you are:
1. Serious (no slacker skate punk here guys, I want to join YOUR club!)
Luke

THat part about joining their already established club is something I think a lot of kids miss these days, nobody here comes to mind - just one of those generational things I've noticed.

Well put, Luke.

Assless chaps

EDIT: I thought this wasfor the TCD meet on the 13th... nm

I wont be there, ive got drill that weekend.

Someone asked, but the position is for an internship.

[Jon325i]

Definately go with the majority rule here - dark colored suit (blue or black), pressed white button-up shirt, tasteful conservative tie (no wild designs or loud color patterns), shiney polished black shoes for the black suit or ox blood colored for the blue suit. Nix the cologne and don't come in chewing gum either - interview no-no. Arrive 10 minutes early tops. If the company has a website, spend some time poking around - real about their company/corporate culture, background and goals for the future. You want to convey an image that you know something about what they do. Above all else, be polite.

Last point (and this is just a personal thing), look the person in the eye when shaking hands. Looking at their feet or off to one side doesn't seem as genuine. I've read that some hiring personnel look for subtle things like this in a persons' behavior during the interview process. A confidence sign for them I suppose.

Good luck!!!
