That went well

I was bright, I was perky, I didn't bitch that it took the woman before me 40 minutes to complete the test it only took me 10 minutes to do.

They'll be hiring sometime mid-August, so this was a pre-employment screening of sorts, and they'll be doing an on-site tour thing Friday, to which he told me to show up to. Yay.

So, er, I have a question. Should I wear the same suit I wore to my interview, or would this be time to work out another businessy-suit thing?

(also, you know what real variety on radio is? Going from Flock of Seagulls to Gorrillaz to Thrill Kill Kult)

You were perky?

Try a different suit.

*thinks of a perky Ana* :)

It's good to have a "second interview" outfit. Or change up the same suit with a different blouse.

My favorite rule of thumb for second interviews, if you saw enough of the office when you were there, is to gauge the everyday dress standards, and go, like, half a notch up from that. Just enough to look like you care about the interview, but also giving the impression that you'll fit in with the office culture.

Depends on what you have in your closet. You might be able to get away with just changing out the blouse.

heh. Looked like business casual, mostly. And I think one of the guys was wearing jeans. *headdesk*

Eee!

This Friday? Hm. If you had more time between interviews, I'd second the blouse change-out... I'd go for a different outfit *if possible*, but blouse change if not.

Mix it up a little, if you can't (or don't want to) get a new outfit.

Good luck!

Not to defend myself from people thinking i'm always snarky and in the gutter...but i was actually thinking of a happy,bouncy and perky Ana with no innuendo implied,sometimes i just a nice guy and happy for others.

I"d wear something different. Maybe just switch out the blouse, or not wear the jacket.
