I just got notice of a job interview tomorrow afternoon. It's with the CEO of a small (under 50 employees) company. It's my third interview here; I've seen the office, and it's pretty casual (nice jeans, sweaters, some guys in short sleeves) but since it's with the CEO I'm thinking I should go business professional, rather than business casual. I've got clothes for business professional, and I don't mind dressing that way. My instinct is to go with business professional, and run the risk of being over-dressed. Could doing so potentially backfire on me? I'm making a career change, so I'm feeling a bit out of my depth on these matters.
You can wear a sports jacket and slacks. You could do the suit without a tie. It may still be overdressing. As long you aren't meeting Mark Zuckerberg, you should be ok. Don't outdress executive management by putting on a tie and suit.
I've since gone on the company website, and I realized that I caught a glimpse of the CEO when I was at the office. To my best recollection, he was wearing slacks and a button-down shirt. Maybe had a blazer in his office, I have no way of knowing. I feel like I should maybe go with my nicest business casual.
(go with your instinct + wear what makes you most confident and relaxed/happy) / 2 = what you wear tomorrow.
