Well, I'm getting ready to start sending out resumes (ugh), and the inevitable interview will come up....what the heck do I WEAR! Any help from new grads or others currently interviewing would be spectacular!

Hi Danielle!
If it were me, I would wear a "business suit" attire. I do tend to believe that appearance is of importance. Not too much make up and no gum chewing and you will be fine. Oops, I am in the "mother" mode! I am composed.
Much continued success to you and let us know how your job interview and job go.

Hi Danielle
I agree a suit, it can even be trousers cos it does show preparation. Just be comfortable
Good luck

usually darker colors work best, I think. Like a black or dark blue for the business look.
And don't fidget! :)

Hi Danielle,
I'm a new grad too and I agree with everyone else, you should wear a suit. I wore one for my interviews, it was not very expensive. Black pants, nice blouse and black jacket. Keep the jewelry simple too.
The only other advice I have is arrive 10-15 minutes early, and be organized. Bring along a copy or two of your resume, a list of questions you want to ask, numbers and addresses of references, etc.
Good luck! There are lots of opportunities out there. Let us know how it goes.
