Frilly halter. Sash. Sweats. Heels. Can't lose.

Advice I was given was to dress like you're going on a casualish first date. This way you're not over or under dressed. Also, just be comfortable. If you're uncomfortable the interviewer can read it!

Honestly, as a creative you can kinda just go whatever your comfortable in, assuming it's not blatantly inappropriate (too short, too low cut, too that sweatshirt says fuck the police on it). Whenever I interview anyone who has gotten fancy I feel like they're trying too hard. None of us dress like that at work. Why put a costume on for an interview?

like

But please don't be too "art" either because that's also like trying too hard and makes me wonder what you're going to show up in at the client meeting, if you can't treat your interview as a business meeting where you're "selling" yourself to a potential "client"/employer.

like

Sweat shirt with sleeves cut off. Sash around waist. Frilly pantaloons. Tube socks. Heels. Winning.

Just look put together.

Black pants, ankle heel boots, white shirt, blazer.

Something clean, classic and black. Then just add interesting / unique jewelry.

(Example: When people come in to interview for say Brand at 72 dressed how the average account person at an agency like Wunderman or Leo dresses, they look very, very out of place. However if you showed up to interview one of those places how most of our people dress, you'd look underdressed/unprofessional.)

TL;DR- mimic how the people that work there dress, and then turn it up just a notch considering it is an interview and not another day at the grind.

like

I go for the classic interview look w a pop of color. So for example, a black pair of shoes, jacket and skirt w a bright yellow top.

Always looks professional, never looks overdressed. It's hot and businessy.

That's exactly the outfit I had planned, @SAE1.

Was just there!

Depends on where you're interviewing. A dude from WK once told me you wouldn't dress the same way to interview for Kohl's as you would for Hot Topic. Agencies are the same.

Hey all! I went through the interviewing process with a company and we had a verbal agreement on X amount of salary per year. They liked me and extended an offer but the offer was for $15K less than what we agreed bc that’s what HR approved for. I was desperate so I took it. Accepting this offer meant that I had to relocate to the other side of the country. Omw that was 2500 miles, I received a call that they rescinded the offer. Is there anything legal that I can do to sue them?

Any advice on how to tastefully tell your manager that you no longer want to be a charge nurse anymore? For us being in charge is having full assignment 3p-7p & being responsible for assigning pts , communicating w/ supervisor about various issues, making the assignment for next shift, and a mini report about each pt for the next charge. On the weekends, same responsibilities but 7a-7p. We don't get any additional pay for being in charge and I'm sick of the added responsibility and stress of it.

Hey Peeps, I got an offer from Thoughtworks. I heard that you get some stocks too. But the offer letter does not mention it. HR confirmed it though that there would be a separate communication regarding the same. I have 7.5 YOE and joining as Senior consultant QA. How much stocks value can i expect to get?

Told a friend of mine in tech I was considering moving to BCG. He asked me if I would have to move to Boston.

I followed up by asking what he thought the top consulting firms were. "I'd guess PwC and then McKinsey are the best. I've also heard of KPMG, Deloitte, and Bain, but I don't know much about them."

Just a reminder that outside our bubble no-one really cares about firm prestige etc.
