How should I dress for an interview for a training coordinator position with a major construction company ?
Asked by jj
I am over 50 and a suit makes me look as if I am interviewing for the VP's job.

Best Answer:
The word “interview” itself makes a person tense and nervous who needs to appear in the interview. It is normal human behaviour to become confused or get tensed but such things can be overcome with practice, learning from seniors and elders, thru own experience. At my time internet was not available. These days Internet is a rich source of information. U can learn many things about the interview by visiting the websites the links of which are given below. On some websites u will find questions also along with answers which are frequently asked and questions pertaining to ur requirement can also be found there provided u surf on them thoroughly and consciously. It will improve ur performance remarkably. If will infuse a high level of confidence in u. It will make u more frank and it will develop diplomatic qualities in u too. Overall, I would say that it will give an impetus to ur personality development. Ur specific requirement can also be met on these sites provided these are surfed thoroughly and consciously. http://www.aperfectcareer.co.uk/interview_coaching.html http://experts.about.com/q/Interviewing-Tips-2314/Ask-Hiring-Manager-decision.htm http://www.duediligence1.com/preparing_interview_questions.htm http://www.bestnetguide.info/Interview/Interview-Tip/tip-to-preparing-for-interview.cfm http://www.meadowsconsulting.com/yourcareer/interviewpreparation.htm http://www.oldscollege.ab.ca/images/galleries/2004/WEBCAST/pages/Myron%20preparing%20for%20interview.html http://www.netreviews.info/Interview/Interview-Tip/tip-to-preparing-for-interview.cfm http://www.netizenguide.info/Interview/Interview-Tip/tip-to-preparing-for-interview.cfm http://oerl.sri.com/module/mod6/m6_p1.html http://www.job-interview.net/ http://www.techinterviews.com/?p=198 http://www.sap-img.com/abap/more-than-100-abap-interview-faqs.htm http://www.onestopsap.com/interview-Question/edi/ Please visit the above pages.

No one will criticize you for dressing up. There could be problems if you dress down.

Go with the suit. It's possible you will be overdressed, but it's better to overdress for the interview than underdress for it. If you don't dress up enough, they'll think you don't care about the job or don't respect them. I'd rather be overdressed and look professional. That sends the message that you care about how you look and you care about what they think and that you respect them.
