What to do if I don't have ' Business Attire' for an interview?


Question Posted Sunday October 29 2017, 3:16 pm

I'm female and I only have a white button down shirt, black pants and flats. I don't have a suit, skirt or heels and can't buy any of that right now.

The interviewer said dress business attire, but that's all I have right now.

If that's all you have then that is what you wear to the interview. Make sure they are clean and well pressed and the shoes are shined. You might explain to the interviewer that you do not own what they may consider appropriate business attire.

If you can borrow a coordinated jacket from mom or a girlfriend that would be appropriate and would also pass for business attire in some workplace settings. For men appropriate business attire is always a suit and tie. For women the rules are generally somewhat different. Some business owners want women in skirts blouses and jackets or women's business suits. Others will accept what you have to wear and maybe a coordinated jacket.

When you interview you might ask; what does this company find as acceptable business attire for women. This is all I have ever needed for work and I apologize if it is not appropriate. WHEN YOU HIRE ME I will purchase what is acceptable.

Try to always use positives when being interviewed. Example not if you hire me, when you hire me.

Good luck
