Can I wear the same clothes to the interview?

[wendy_lili]

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.

I'd be very surprised if she notices, and if she does, cares. Think about it - do you remember what [fill in the blank] wore yesterday, much less two weeks ago?

Best of luck to you, getting an interview more often than not means that you will get the job.

I just had the interview with the manager. She asked the routine questions for new grads and made notes on the pre-printed question form. There were behavioral questions, clinical scencario questions, and personality questions. I answered the questions to the best of my knowledge. And she made comments or helped me by asking more questions when I answered them. She commented on my performance as 'better than most of the new-grads', 'impressive', 'beyond the expectations'. She asked for a electronic version of my resume and references. She said that she will let me know her decision soon.

How does it sound? Anyway I have to focus on the exam now. Only two weeks to go!

Thanks again to everyone.
