I would not recommend jeans for male or female candidates. Suggests to me you can’t step it up for important meetings. I still expect my team to dress for senior mgmt meetings and big client meetings. This is obviously an important meeting so be sure to show you are senior enough to know the difference. Save jeans for after you get the job.
Men- pants/slacks/ simple shirt or thin crew neck summer sweater.
Women- summer dress, capris/sandals and cute shirt.

Would blue jeans, shoes, nice shirt and a blazer sound appropriate? I haven’t interviewed in a while and feel super self conscious

I generally stay away from blue jeans for an interview. Have done nice new (aka unfaded) black jeans before though

Not a dumb question! I wore dark jeans, white t, blazer and booties (interviewed last winter), but you can switch out the shoes for wedges. Also a nice dress with a blazer and sandals would be nice.

Hahahahahaha. Thanks, I got that.

Align to your sense of their culture. But, for a man, dark slacks (grey/navy) with a crisp white shirt and sport coat. And nice shoes, please.

Not that anyone would be losing sleep over this, but I got a follow up interview for this role I’m interviewing for (third and final I think) and think I nailed it again. Thank you everyone for your advice!!

Hi everyone,

I’ve been working as a contract TAS for 6 months in a medical device company. I started part time and as it became busier/my trainer quit, I became full-time. I applied for the TA position through corporate and would like some insight. the company is short staffed and my site specifically does not have good TA retention. For the salary expectation, I put in 85k which is in the range. I’m currently at 64k which is below the minimum of the range. Is this realistic?

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
