Can I wear the same clothes to the interview?

Published

Hello everyone, I am a new graduate this year and new to this forum. I would like to ask for help for interview tips.

I will go to an interview (my first one!) tomorrow at the hospital where I did my pre-grad placement. I really like to postion and am trying to prepare for profesional image but I got a question for the dressing. Honestly I do not have much formal clothes (my daily wear would be jeans and t-shirt or jacket). At the last day of my placement, I went to the manager's office and left her my resume. This is how I got the interview. My question is: Can I wear the same clothes that I wore that day to this interview? I wore a black pant and a nice blouse that day. And I feel comfortable in those clothes. Does it matter if she notices that I am wearing the same clothes as I did two weeks before?

Thank you.

You'll be fine. If she even notices I'm sure she'll assume that you've had time to wash them in the last two weeks :D.

You're smart to wear clothes you're comfortable in.

Yep, wear that. I would be shocked if she noticed or cared.

This may sound silly but, if you are feeling self conscious about this, it's easy enough to make the outfit look different. Change the watch/necklace/earrings/shoes that you wore. Do something different with your hair... she might notice but I doubt she'll really base anything on that. Good Luck!

I doubt that she would notice after that amount of time. Clean, appropriate, comfortable. Sounds like a good outfit for you.

Wear the same outfit. She won't notice. I have trouble remembering what I wore yesterday.

Feel good about knowing that your interviewer probably wasn't paying much attention to what you were wearing that day.
