Never a mistake to overdress for an interview. Put on dress pants and a jacket, dial it back once you have the job and have the dress code figured out.

Totally agree with @AD1! Always better to overdress than underdress! I also thinks it helps give confidence in the interview:) Good luck!!!

Higher end dark colored jeans that look like nice slacks should work. I have a pair of silk cotton jeans that I've had for 10 years. Even after numerous washes they still shine and do the job.

Jeans only chill if they're dark and you pair that up with a jacket and decent shoes. But then you're probably tucking a shirt into jeans, so 1 step forward 2 steps back.

Thanks everyone except the snarky creative technologist! It went well :)

I am applying to more positions through staffing agencies as one way to get a writing job. When they tell me the hourly rate and I suggest a few dollars higher per hour, they'll say, "Just so you know, the competition is priced lower than you."

Is this to scare me into submission to charge less so that they can profit more? Or is an employer really not going to pick me because I am priced 1-$2 more per hour than someone else? Wdyt?

Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?
