I just want to pass this on... I have seen a lot of threads about clothing for interviews. I just got a pretty awesome educator job and am being oriented by a number of people who were in my interview. The competition for this job was much more intense than I knew. There were some pretty heavy hitters who interviewed as well (but apparently didn't take the interview as seriously as I did). One of my new coworkers told me I had the job when I walked in with a suit and briefcase. She said my appearance was by far the most professional. I'm not talking about some college professor blazer over jeans. When I bought this suit I told the salesman I want to look exactly like a prosecuting attorney, and it has served me very well. Anyway, I hope this advice helps...
