<p>I have an interview for an office assistant type job this week with the schools chemistry department, and I was wondering what to wear. I'm thinking of going business casual, as I don't really feel jeans would be appropriate.</p>
<p>I think you're on the right track there. You should look capable and professional. Jeans, unless they're nice dark jeans, aren't good enough. Because it's not a 9-5 type job, a suit would be too much. Nice pants (or a skirt if you're a girl and prefer) and either a button-down or nice, ironed shirt (most things besides a basic T-shirt work).</p>
<p>Good advice from Lumine. And remember, no cleavage & no flip flops.</p>
<p>Slacks, long sleeve buttondown shirt and a tie should be good. No matter what job you are interviewing for, those three should be the standard minimum</p>
<p>Business casual (no jeans, slacks or corduroy pants will work). Look collegiate.</p>
<p>Oh yeah, fauve made an important point. In terms of the amount of skin showing, you should be pretty conservative.</p>
<p>Yeah, I'm a guy, so showing skin wouldn't be the best option...for this position at least. =)</p>
<p>Thanks for the advice guys!</p>
<p>always dress up not down..</p>
