I'm interviewing for a position at a large organization next week. I love this look. Would it be appropriate for an interview if I added a blazer?

Blazer almost always adds a nice touch. Without knowing too much, I would say this is fine for work attire. For one better though, try to research the company and find what kind of dress code they have. If you can't, it's always better to be a little more formal than less, so this seems fine!

Absolutely! A blazer always adds a polished, professional vibe. As long as you feel confident and the look isn't too casual, it should be perfect for the interview. I usually stick with a neutral blazer to keep it sleek and professional.

Yes! I work at a large global firm and this is exactly in line with our dress code and what I would expect any candidate I’m interviewing to wear. A blazer would probably be a good idea to have in case it’s even more formal. (Very chic and sophisticated look, by the way, well done! I’m sure you’ll look fabulous. Good luck with the interview 🤞🏻).

I think its perfect! Good luck!

perfect!

To put it bluntly, I know certain people with less experience and a lower performance rating are getting paid more than me due to my role working with payroll data. I suspect this was due to the fact that I did not counter offer when I accepted this role, which was a few months ago, and now I regret it.

I’m interviewing for a marketing manager role at a company based in SF. I’m genuinely excited about the role and the company but we’ve yet to discuss salary. I expect to be asked at some point, but my research has given me a VERY broad range. So I’m here to do a bit more research. I’ve got 5 very relevant years of experience and will have an associate manager directly reporting to me. Are there any marketers out there who can share their salaries in similar regions and experience levels?

I've tried asking them to do more on their own, but when I do, they fail spectacularly.
