Job Interview - WTF do I wear...



Definitely wear a suit for any job interview. You'll look more professional and may beat others just on appearance

dijyia get the job?
 
Other candidates who they're interviewing may wear a suit. Do you want to be remembered as anything other than the best dressed interviewee?
 
As the manager of IT, I routinely hired network staff, web designers, Support / Help desk, etc...

I often did this with the CEO as he was always wanting to "hire the best" - (Jack Welsh mentality) ...

One time - I had the strongest networking interviewer ever, but the guy wore a tie with a stain on it. Then we had a guy (minority) show up, in a power suit and ready to roll. He interviewed "OK" but not like the other fellow.

After much arguing and debating, I eventually gave in, hired the second guy and immediately regretted the decision. I probably will never make that mistake again -- and always hire the better interviewer - but not everyone has had that "ah-ha" moment, so just be a winner, wear a nice clean pressed suit and rock out the interview.

Even if the place is a blue jeans / t-shirt shop - wearing a suit shows you are serious and are WANTING to make a good impression. You dont have to have a suit "mentality" but wearing one is an advantages, esp if you meet with upper level officers who dont know shit about what you will be doing...

Sorry So long...
if you do this for a living you might as well get the vocabulary right, it's interviewee not interviewer.

otherwise good post
 
Thanks for the replies



In regards to this, I think the reason I have decided on a manual labor type gig is multifaceted.

1. After spending the day grinding and completing work for my clients, the last thing I really want to do is work on my own stuff for my own benefit. I know it sounds ridiculous, but I think people who do meaningless client work know this.

People will say "Well, just put your own project first and get your stuff done" but, as of now, I have to put food on the table and pay the bills, so working on something that will only replace a portion of my income in a few months has to take a back seat to my immediate financial needs.

I think doing some manual labor where I don't have to sit in front of a computer all day or have to use my brain to a large extent will "reinvigorate" me if you will. When I am done work, I will be fresh to focus on my own projects, not have to worry about client BS and have some funding to help build my business.

Does this sound reasonable? Or does it just seem like I am trying to find an easy way out?

2. I think I just need a good kick in the ass, and I think a manual labor type job would be the best place to get that. A few "Harden The Fuck Up" moments would do just that for me.

it makes sense that you never had a job before, because a lot fo your assumptions are incorrect.

if you need physical stimulation, do weightlifting.

manual labour isnt going to invigorate anything. you'll make $70 on certain days doing a few hours work, and ask yourself, do i want to slug away in the cold doing slave labour for 70 bucks when i can make the exact same sitting at home.

i do think you're being lazy and not putting your priorities in order. i think you should get a job to understand what hardship is like, who the average 9-5 has to do in a day, how fast/hard to work in order to get your senses adjusted, i think you may be the typical affiliate marketer who does 2 hours of work a day and just watches porn for the rest of it;

a good dose of hard work will fix that.
 
Op's just getting free content for selling articles on interview attire. playas been played
 
Perhaps this is an uncommon post here, but whatever...

I need to take my shit to the next level in terms of PPC, but I need more cash to do it.

I think I am going to have to get a job.

I am 23 years old and have never had a "job" before. I know. It's lame.

I have been making ends meat on the web, but it is time to stop surviving and start thriving...

So, my question...

WTF do I wear to a job interview for a general labor position?

Will jeans and a golf shirt do?

Slacks and a dress shirt?

I am clueless...

Thanks in advance...

Affiliate marketing pants.

Instead of getting a job why don't you buy a few domains from bluehost and use the $100 Google credits they give your :D

Just playin'- I think a shirt and tie would be safe followed up with some slacks. This is a safe bet if you don't feel like asking the person who's interviewing you. It never hurts to ask though.

Wow that really sucks. I thought IT guys and actuaries got a break in the dress to impress arena. Now if it was for a marketing position or something, yeah you gotta come full of swag.

Guys, have a girl friend or sister help you out. I always assist my husband with his outfits on important meetings, business trips, conventions...etc. He can dress himself fine, but I usually pair up things he would have never thought to pair for that extra pop that makes him stand out (in a good way;) )
