<p>From what I've heard, these interviews are casual and probably shouldn't be called an interview anyway. I have one coming up and was wondering whether it'd be wrong to wear something like I would in class, since I would be rushing to the interview after class. Is it worth it to put in the effort of dressing up? And if it's not rude to ask, should I ask the interviewer?</p>
<p>It really depends on what it is. “work study” doesn’t really clarify- it can cover everything from working in a dish room to working in the dean’s office. </p>
<p>I would wear a nice pair of kahkis and a polo if you’re a guy, a nice pair of pants (not jeans) and a nice shirt if you’re a girl if it’s for something like a receptionist or caf job. It’s always better to be a little overdressed than underdressed.</p>
<p>What romani says. For most workstudy jobs, you can dress as casually as you normally would, but I would step it up a notch for the interview. And depending where the job is, they may expect you to dress professionally on the job - on my campus workstudy students in Career Services and the Presidents Office, for example, are expected to wear shirt&tie (male) or dressy pants/skits (female). Showing up in jeans for an interview in those offices would immediately eliminate someone from consideration.</p>
<p>It’s for a tutoring position.</p>
<p>Dress nicely, but no need for formal attire.</p>
<p>For my work-study tutor interview, I wore nice dark jeans and a nice blouse like top, and I’m a girl. I would wear something comparable (polo, dark jeans, belt) if I was a guy.</p>
