I say disrupt the category: go in there wearing a pirate Halloween costume and bring your friend to be a parrot on your shoulder. Every time you talk they'll repeat it.

like

Yep. Black jeans, nice top, blazer.

like

Dark jeans a blazer and a scarf

like

All black everything (jeans, top, etc) with cool shoes and a statement necklace.

like

A pair of jeans that are 2 sizes too long. Roll them from your ankle to your calf. This is a good place to store pens, a ruler, a comb, business cards.

Next you will want a cool t-shirt that says I am fun and creative. Disney does not fail here. Throw on a sheer blouse.

A scarf will tie it all together. Make sure it is long enough to tie into a bow.

Let me know how it goes.

like

Slacks + shell + jacket. Nice heels. Classy jewelry.

No jeans.

like

Fishnets, leather bra, and a whip. I mean business.

like

Seeing a tie here between @AD1 and @Copywriter2

like

Black pixie/ankle pant, patterned shirt, blazer.

like

I think if it's account then dress it up a little from jeans, but I think if it's creative or production then the above is okay.

like

A dress that shows a little of your personality

like

Strat... to measure the success of the interview of course.

like

Just to follow up- some agencies I have interviewed at tell you it's a casual environment and jeans and a nice top is fine

like

Thanks everyone! Might just go with what @Copywriter2 said...

like

even if the agency is super casual, I still dress up a little for interviews. generally a patterned dress or a skirt and fun blouse.

like

And @AccountDirector1 :)

like

Colored pants, top with blazer. Professional but still creative.,

All black.

Copywriter 2 won for sure... repeating parrot/friend, so good!!!

@artdirector1 I do like the pant rolling idea. Good place to store a ruler, as you said. Trying to figure out what I'll need the ruler for tho..

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?
