<p>I'm meeting with a School of Hotel Administration alumni next week, and was wondering what kind of dress code would be appropriate. I'm meeting him at his business office, but I'm not sure if I should suit up, or just a blazer and a dress shirt. </p>
<p>The interview is weighted heavily for SHA, so any help would be appreciated.</p>
<p>Thanks for your time</p>
<p>I wore a white 3 piece suit for mine but iv’e heard a normal suit will also work. Also wear a fake pair of glasses because it will make you look really smart, black thick rimmed ones work really well. Carry a walking stick and bring a top hat just in case, you never know what everyone else will be wearing.</p>
<p>Sorry for the above post. Really i’d dress smartly and casually, as in shirt and trousers. Include a belt xD. No need to suit up.</p>
<p>actually, that might not be true for the Hotel interview…I meet with applicants but not Hotel and I tell them to dress as for school…but I think many on here have previously suggested wearing dressier clothes for the required Hotel Interview vs. the Optional Alumni Info Meeting that the other colleges/schools offer.</p>
<p>definitely go w/ noragon’s idea of a cane and top hat. A brightly colored suit, lime green, maybe, would go well with that too. Believe me, everyone would remember you if you came like that.</p>
<p>@memphismom, Yes that’s what I was thinking too and a little bit of research confirmed it. Apparently, formal business attire IS required, because it’s a professional interview. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
