The very large world known company my husband works for is currently hiring 10 people for a specialized position.
It is a office type job and the starting base salary is 50,000. The job is like i wrote specialized so there are not tons of people who are eligible to apply but the 10 positions still had a whopping 300 applicants. 30 out of those 300 got a call to come in for an interview. Today my husband tells me that he saw 2 people interviewing in jeans and t shirts. One of the hiring managers expressed his annoyance over this to the other hiring managers. Guess who will not get the job. I guess
They must not have wanted it. But considering the company is flying you to the interview from wherever you are in
The country due to your skills, how the hell do you ********** part up?
Personally i think you wear a suit to any job you interviewing for. Regardless.
I don't think most people here in the Silicon Valley even own a suit, and most of them easily earn six digit incomes.
I think it might depend on the region. Most employers in New York City expect even lower level male employees to wear a suit to work every day, no matter how hot it is, yet they allow women to wear anything they want.
I know that on the east coast (DC, MD, VA), every job I interviewed for involved me wearing a business suit of some kind. Even when I was interviewing at the local AMC movie theater for ticketing (ah, first jobs...). And I was required to wear business attire after I got the jobs (exception being AMC, where we had uniforms).
Later on when I lived in the SF Bay area, I still wore some kind of business suit for the interview but ultimately was able to settle into business casual at best (polo shirts and khakis) for the day-to-day work. In a lot of cases I also had the option for jeans and t-shirts... bearing in mind here that we're talking about the IT industry.
Now back in the DC area, I think it's appropriate to at the very least go in Khakis and a nice shirt for the interview. Sort out what you actually plan to wear to work once you have the offer letter in hand.
Ha, I think the guy in that video would be better off wearing a suit. Unless that's really his look. Pink shirt with a white linen jacket and carrying a man-purse (note how similar it looks to the woman's bag)? Not too many people can pull that off, and most people are going to feel very uncomfortable (apparently including their model). Don't do that.

Wow try that look at any good paying white collar sales job I have been applying for and you would be done. In Colorado for a white collar job, you show up in suit, and you work in business casual unless you are going to a law office for appt, then suit up.
I guess if you want to be labeled metrosexual than dress like that guy in the vid.

Not trying to be funny, but there are many people out here that can't afford a suit or nice "interview" clothes and they do the best with what they can.

To be honest, those type of people aren't applying for any white-collar positions which would require a suit. If you're applying at McDonald's or Walmart for $8/ hour, I doubt they'd even look twice at what you're wearing.

I bought my suite for 48 dollars at Macy's Jr department. You don't have to have an expensive suit as long as you
Look professional and it fits nice.
