Important Job Interview, HELP!

Hey Y'all!

So I have a very important job interview with a corporate company (Aetna) on Friday, with the regional sales director.

Now this is my dream job and I want everything to be perfect.

My Question,

How Do I dress?

I'm considering buying a suit for the occasion but I'm unsure if that will overdressed in today's world (as I'm used to the polo/pants combo)

So that is my issue, how should I dress for Corporate? I'm either considering buying a new suit today and having it tailored today or buying a new outfit (Slacks/Tie/Dress Shirt/Belt/Dress Shoes)

Please Help

I would go suit, especially if it is at the corporate office...

Remember, you never get a second chance to make a first impression...!

Whatever you choose, be sure you feel confident in it as well. Many HR people can read a persons body language and if you are uncomfortable in what you are wearing, it will reflect all the way through the interview.

GOOD LUCK!

not really, shirt and tie only if you are fixing photocopiers




But I agree with the advice to wear a suit for a corporate interview - good luck

Definately a suit! You do not want to be under dressed for an interview.

Got to say, I've never ever dressed in a suit on a job interview. Usually nice slacks, nice dress shirt and a tie. IMO, and only IMO, a suit..unless you're going for a VP type of role, is over done and any employer worth a damn will not be impressed by your 'suit'. Again, IMO. I've hired one person in my lifetime who was in a suit at an interview and that was ONLY because of his resume, nothing to do with his attire. Now that said, had he showed up in running-pants and a t-shirt, I wouldn't have talked to him because IMO he wasn't taking the meeting seriously.

Driving up in a nice BMW also makes a good impression, maybe you should trade that VW?
