Interview Question

[wizzz]

I have a job interview on Monday and the manager said (by phone) the dress code is "business casual"

Should I just wear a suit or should I wear business casual?
I want to make a good first impression.
Any help would be appreciated.

A suit would be overkill.

yeah, if he specifically said business casual then don't wear a suit

nice collared shirt, tucked in of course

slacks and nice dress shoes

Dockers, a nice button down shirt and flip flops always does it for me.

No suit! It looks like you are trying to hard to impress him if the dress code is "business casual".

Thank you for all your helpful comments.

Wish me luck

you should be fine with that.

where i work is business casual and a little more strict than most. for men, we have to have a collared shirt, khakis or slacks, and decent shoes (no tennis shoes, sandals, flip flops, open toed, etc).

Good Luck.

Good luck!

You probably already know this, but just in case (and for others as well):

Make sure to get a haircut, shave, and make sure your fingernails are clean and trimmed!!! Watch your body language carefully. Ask a friend to see how you sit and if you have any mannerisms that are distracting and that you don't know about.
