How should I dress for an office manager interview?
Asked by Ladyluck
Also, what questions should I ask, I know not to ask about salary, vacation, etc. because I already know the answers from a person who works there. Please help! I don't want to over dress, but definitely don't want to flop w/ an inappropriate outfit. The office has approximately 20 workers.

Always dress for the job you want ... not the job you have
It's always better to be overdressed than underdressed.

A:
Full business dress. Nothing flamboyant - including makeup & jewelry.
Do not deviate from this - not even a little. Once you get the job, there is always the chance to dress down, especially if others do so.
Dressing well reinforces the impression you want to present - professional, polished, and managerial!

no such thing as overdressing. Always better to err on the side of being more formal.
