Job Interview Outfit email this discussion to a friend?

Hey ladies, what do you usually wear for a job interview? In the past, I always donned on a collared shirt, black slacks, and pumps. It's too hot here in the Philippines to put on a suit as well but I really want to project the image of a capable employee for my next interview. I own a blazer which I think would work well in my favor but will it be too much? Is it okay to be dressed better than the interviewer?

And what about my bag? Can I bring a clutch or should I stick with a shoulder back? I look forward to hearing from everyone.:) Thanks.

I think it wouldn't matter at all what you wear, as long as it's clean and neat. You wouldn't want to wear clothes fit for managers if you're only applying to be a clerk, wouldn't you?

Anyhow, I think you should just dress the part. Otherwise, dress comfortably.

What matters is how you project yourself. Be confident without being overbearing.

For one thing, I've done my fair share of interviewing, I don't like applicants who are overbearing and dress as if they're more concerned about their looks and forgot to bring their brains with them. hehe

I would suggest wearing a white shirt and black pants with cover shoe. As for the bag, go with a handbag. Most importantly be neat and wear something you feel comfortable in. If wearing a suit makes you hot then go with one I suggest, a skirt can do too.

im a filipina too.. i think there's a lot of things to consider on what are you going to wear for your interview.

1st what job are you appllying for?
you cant just wear a slacks and a collard shirt if your going to apply for an executive position wear something fashionable yet simple dont make it too elegant..

if you're appllying for lets say a sales lady a slacks and a polo would be fine.. you could wear a sleeve less fitting blouse and top it with a simple blazer..

2nd is your vital statistics
may binabagayan din ang mga damit.. slim slacks are not good if your skinny fitted is good to those sexy they say

above all this things wear those clothes that you think is bumabagay sau thats more important and most of all have the confidence

hey friends i believe dressing professional is not important for an interview my cousin went for an interview wearing jeans,t-shirt,sweater and sport shoes and guess what she got selected there were some people there who were dressed professionally but were not selected it is all about your inner qualities and not about the look but there are some companies where dressing professionally for the interview is important
