What to wear?! Interview with CCSU

<p>Hey, I have an interview with CCSU and I don't have a clue what I should wear. They are offering an on-site interview at my HS where I know whether Im accepted or not right there. I usually wear jeans and a t-shirt to school, is that acceptable =/ . My parents wanted me to wear a full suit, which is just not me.. at all. Any recommendations greatly appreciated =) .</p>

<p>I suggest something just slightly more formal than you normally wear to school. Perhaps khakis, a belt and a collared shirt.</p>

<p>No need to go so extreme as to wear a suit. You'd feel uncomfortable because that would look out of place in the general school environmetn.</p>

<p>I've interviewed in schools for college and local scholarships, and students usually dress in the slightly more formal way that I described.</p>

<p>It sounds at least somewhat formal...maybe khakis and a dress shirt...possibly a tie. Dress slightly more formal than the teachers do at your school, that should be about right. A full suit might be a little extreme</p>

<p>Even people interviewing for in-school awards at our school wear suits. It's better to play it safe and go formal -- at least it won't look disrespectful,</p>

<p>Don't get too formal. It can seem really awkward if the person interviewing you is dressed less formally than you are.</p>

<p>clothes....:D</p>

<p>khakis, leather belt, crisp collared shirt, nice leather shoes. tie optional, but adds a nice touch. heck, bring a blazer and put it in your locker if you are worried about being underdressed. scope out the other kids and the interviewer and decide to wear it or not then. you could do the same with the tie.</p>

<p>i don't think overdressing for an interview is EVER uncomfortable. i don't really consider a nice shirt and khakis overdressing, anyway, no matter how your interviwer is dressed! around here the athletes wear that kind of outfit on game days. even if your interviewer is in jeans, wear something nice, especially if decisions are being made on the spot. in this case, better safe than sorry...for a dance or party, maybe not, but this is a different situation.</p>

<p>i would advise against the suit if it makes you uncomfortable, though. some people can pull it off (sga kids love to rock the suits on a daily basis here), others will just look and feel awkward. if it comes down to it, you'll look just as polished with a blazer and tie.</p>

<p>AND the easiest solution to your problem: ask your guidance counseler. that's what they're there for, they'll know the appropriate dress; your school is probably familiar with these kinds of things.</p>
