弱问: on-campus interview 的 dress code

Doer

的确，我们工作一般都是business attire，夏天可以business casual。还真不了解casual环境的情况。

我明天也要面了，还在想是西装裙比较好还是裤子，裤子我总觉得比较模糊性别让别人更注重谈话内容，但是我又没有一整套的西装+西裤，只有一整套西装+一步裙。
还有里面如果穿白衬衫会不会太formal了，看起来像推销保险的，无领的衬衣会不会好点呢？

白骨妖精

我也想知道，女生是不是穿裙子会比穿裤子感觉好很多。

我倒是觉得衬衫不一定是白的，不过也不要过于鲜艳。

Doer

我明天是裙装＋大衣
衬衣的颜色和你的套装搭配好就行

Dressing for Interview Success

As Will Rogers said, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." Your personal image extends well beyond the interview. Every contact with the interviewer (résumé, cover letter, telephone calls, information sessions, etc.) must reflect your professional image. Your appearance tells people how you feel about yourself as an applicant, as well as how you feel about the interviewer(s), the company, and the process of interviewing itself. The correct image at an interview will give you a real edge over your competition, and it will add to your own sense of self-esteem and confidence.

Within the first five seconds of meeting someone, you are generally evaluated on your appearance. It is important that your appearance matches the culture of the company. One way to do this is to visit the company to see how people who work there are dressed or ask people that you know in the professional workplace. For example, in most public and private accounting firms women wear skirted suits. Therefore, interviewing in a pantsuit would most likely be unacceptable for such accounting positions. Many companies do have business casual dress one or more days a week. Business casual dress is still inappropriate for interviewing.

Invest in your interviews as you have invested in your education. If you need a book for a class, you buy it. If you need a suit for interviewing, buy it. Buy the highest quality suit you can afford. We recommend a lined, all-season wool suit. It will pay off in the long run.

Below are a few interview dressing tips for your reference.

General Tips

You can never go wrong if you dress conservatively
Clothes should be wrinkle-free and clean
All tags should be removed from clothing, including manufacturers label sewn to outside of sleeve
Make sure your clothes are lint-free
Jewelry should be kept to a minimum; wear only gold or silver.
Wear a dress watch, not a plastic band watch
Always have fresh breath, but do not keep gum or mints in your mouth
Avoid having smoker’s breath or smoker’s clothing
Do not wear perfume or cologne
Wear deodorant
Refrain from bringing backpacks into the interview

Men

Wear a navy or dark gray suit for the first interview
The jacket should match the pants
Wear a pressed and starched white or ivory long-sleeved shirt; 100 percent cotton is recommended, but a 65/35 cotton/polyester blend is acceptable
Shirt cuffs should extend ½ inch below the jacket sleeve
The tie should be conservative; avoid a distracting eye-catching tie
The tie should reach right above your belt buckle
Always wear a belt if the pant has belt loops; a black or brown leather belt is recommended
Wear black or brown shoes that do not have scuff marks or a worn heel; tie shoes portray a more conservative image than tassel loafers
Wear black or brown calf length socks
Always button your jacket; it’s acceptable to unbutton when you sit down
Shave before the interview

Women

Wear a navy or other dark colored suit for the first interview
In most first interviews, pantsuits are unacceptable
The jacket and skirt should match; same color is recommended
The skirt length should be at least to the knee
Wear a non-wrinkled blouse that complements your suit; cotton or silk is recommended
Wear closed-toe leather classic pumps with heels no higher than 3" and no scuff marks
If you bring a purse, it should be compact and match the color of your shoes
No more than six pieces of jewelry (2 rings, 2 earrings, 1 watch, and 1 bracelet) should be worn; earrings should be small
Get a haircut one month before interviewing to make sure you are comfortable with the cut. Short hair is recommended for business; however, if your hair is longer pull it back or put it up. If you dye your hair, make sure that your roots are not showing
Makeup should be minimal and in neutral colors
Hands should be manicured; clear or neutral nail polish is recommended
Wear skin-tone hosiery (your hosiery should not be darker than your shoes); patterned hosiery is not appropriate

是美国的情况啊。可能你没有在不需要正装的地方工作过吧。我之前有个manager，有一次急了，直接跟我们说，她看了那些穿很贵西服的就讨厌。当然我觉得她也是那种得失心过于重以及自我感觉过于良好的人，不过美国这样的人还真不少。

MBA面试不存在这种问题，你去面试如果很smart学校只会觉得脸上有光吧，说不准他们看上你让你明年上他家的 MBA program brochure，直接全奖录啦

面试着装和美国工作环境着装是两回事。所有的商学院都会教给学生，你的第一天上班，一定要正装，然后看公司里面其他人怎么穿，你再调整。

MBA面试我觉得没什么可说的，肯定是正装。虽然学校不会要求，虽然很多人面对的面试官有各种构成，但是，正装不会让人挑毛病。其他的，只要有人在意，就是你的着装错误。这基本上是常识。

要真能这样，就成了走秀了。呵呵～

为什么女生穿裤子不好呢？

Doer

一般最formal的正装for women就是裙装。 我第一次面试从来不穿裤装，一般面试工作时候，第二次面试，我会穿裤装啦。哈哈，主要还是因为我是个喜欢舒适随意的人，穿正装久了，觉得板得很。
