Would you wear white scrubs to the interview or professional outfit?

Never wear scrubs to an interview!

You should absolutely *not* wear scrubs to an interview.

Guy or girl, you should wear a nice suit... guys, make sure your tie is tied properly... girls, easy on the makeup and jewelry.

You want to project an image of calm, competent professionalism with proper respect to the interview process.

Definitely a professional outfit. It's amazing how much of a difference your attire can impact a job offer or not. I always wear a nice dress or a blouse, black pants (the nice, expensive ones that cost $$ to dry clean) and a blazer. Hair neatly combed, minimal jewelry (I'll take out my earrings if I remember but I usually am just wearing simple gold ones, so it's not a big deal if I forget), light makeup, nice flats or low heels (it's really not professional if you're stumbling in heels because they're killing your feet or they're too high). It's always best to dress more conservative in doubt. Recommend not wearing bright colors unless it's not overly distracting, but some people might disagree. Good luck with your interview!

I was doing a interview for our next LVN class. Our teacher automatically did not accept some students because they weren't in appropriate attire.

So like everyone said.

Dress professionally

Personally I couldn't wear a blazer. I'm uncomfortable in them and it shows. Nothin worse than looking awkward in your clothing.

I opt for a button up collared shirt, slacks and flats. Or if it's winter a light sweater with a scarf.

I think as long as it's business casual and you are comfortable in what you're wearing that's all that matters.

I don't wear makeup so that's not a problem for me. Also skip the perfume. Just my opinion but it can really bother some.

I am in agreeance with everyone that has already posted. Never wear scrubs. Always dress to impress.
