<p>Alumni interview at a local Panera. With Northwestern which is kinda a reach for me. Possibly majoring in business. Meeting is at 7, guy works in law, so I assume he might be dressed from work. Thanks</p>
<p>Dress in “business casual.” Slacks and collared shirt with no tie and shoes that will take a shine for a guy. Nice pants or skirt and a blouse for a girl. No jeans or T-shirts for either. Bring a notebook and pen and some copies of your resume or activities sheet if needed.</p>
<p>And most importantly: Have something to say.</p>
<p>This I find really important, just thought I’d add, if you are a guy, clean shave.</p>
<p>HAVE QUESTIONS. They’re going to ask if you have any questions at the end, and if you have nothing to say and it can get awkward really fast.</p>
<p>Don’t take the example of Legally Blonde. The producers thought the students at Harvard weren’t dressed “Harvard enough” so they hired extras to dress ultra-preppy (it’s disgusting). </p>
<p>Business casual is a good idea.</p>
<p>Dress NICE..hah I know that is the lamest answer, but a nice shirt/sweater..not a sweatshirt..an NICE pair of pants..not jeans..a NICE pair of shoes..not flipflops..
Look CLEAN and presentable.</p>
<p>Oh, if you are a girl, don’t overdo the makeup/jewelery and it does without saying, don’t wear anything remotely revealing..if you are a guy, don’t over do the cologne, hair gel, and whatnot.
Oh, and good luck!</p>
<p>Dangso I still won’t be able to wear my suit. I wore slacks and a shirt and tie to one already and that seemed to go over well, I just didn’t know if I should INTENITIONALLY over-do it a little to make an impression (since it’s a pretty big reach).</p>
