Interview question. Business casual office that I already work in. How to dress for interview?
Asked by Psionyx
I already work in the office and tomorrow I have an interview. It is for a Systems analyst position. I already work in the area that is hiring for the position. Our office is business casual and I already work with the manager doing the interview. Do I dress in a suit and tie? Or can I go with a very nice set of pants, dress shirt, tie and a sweater? I'm thinking that a suit would be overdressing, but a sweater and tie seems like it would go over nicely. Help!

Best Answer:
If you already work with the manager then you should know what kind of clothes he or she wears. This would be a clue as to what the manager expects co workers to wear.

set of pants, dress shirt, tie and a sweater is probably the way to go except if the manager is a slob. If the latter, skip the tie, but do look professional. Good Luck!

I would go with something that isnt over the top but better than what I normally dress in. You want the manager to know that you do take this interview seriously.

I'd go for NICE dress pants and a button down shirt minus the tie. Something about a sweater just doesnt sound dressy enough. GOOD LUCK!!

For an interview in a business casual office that you already work in, I'd go on the dressy end of what people wear there. Not a suit and tie though. Nice pants, dress shirt, tie and sweater sounds about right. Good luck.
