I love how everyone's assuming it's a guy 🙄

So many other great options female OP. Turtleneck reads ski trip, outdoors, etc. Plus still a bit early in the season. And to be clear, I love a cashmere turtleneck sweater in winter for biz casual. It's just not a great look with a blazer at an interview. Go with a simple/neutral shell or blouse and a suit (skirt or slacks). Goal is to appear put together and relatively understated and to make it easy for the hiring team to imagine you fitting in with the company. Definitely not the time to show tons of personal style.
