what to wear to my first interview

[nevets_eural]

just wondering if i should wear something like a shirt and tie or just be myself with a nice polo shirt, i dont want to over dress

It's a job interview. Shirt and tie is the minimum unless you're interviewing for a job flipping burgers. Will you be dressed better than most of the people you see interviewing? Probably. But at least they'll know you're taking them seriously.

If I was the supervisor/hiring manager and you showed up in a polo shirt, I don't care if you're a board certified emergency physician and former Navy DEVGRU corpsman your application goes to the bottom of the pile.

X2, Shirt, tie, slacks, nice shoes and a belt to match. Make sure you shave and get a hair cut if you need one

As long as you don't roll in wearing a tux you wont be over dressed

YAY you're back

And I agree to the above statement. I was doing interviews and I judged based on how professional they looked and acted then actually looked at the Resume.
