Tomorrow - clothing

[mamadeb]

So. It turns out I don't have an interview suit. I have simcha suits, and a couple of shabbos suits, but no interview/work suits.

Tomorrow, I am wearing a dark blue skirt, a pink and brown striped blouse and a grey pinstriped jacket. And a Parkhurst hat because I don't own a sheitel and I think the little hats are more professional looking than a scarf. I'm using my everyday purse, but I'm putting my knitting into a nice totebag and I'm not wearing my fannypack - I'm putting my phone and pda into my purse. I'll put on makeup, I guess. I'll even take some with me to touch up.

I might have purchased an interview suit today but I caught a cold yesterday and thought I'd do better resting, and it worked. I feel coldy, but my nose isn't running and I'm barely sneezing now.

It does work, but I changed to a blue blouse. The shabbos suits won't work.

Blue blouse sounds better! I was always taught to over dress for an interview, and especially on the east coast. Even if it is an outfit you would never wear on the job, it makes you look eager to start work. For example, a guy would wear a suit and tie to a blue collar type interview. I always wore a pinstripe suit and a silk blouse, even when I was just temping as a receptionist. I was much more likely to be offered a permanant job when I was "overdressed".

Just my two cents. I wish you lots of luck! :-D
