Job Interview

I have an interview for a family clinic job. How should I dress?

At my other office job(Internal Medicine), nurses coming in for interviews would either wear pants or scrubs. I graduated in the late 90s and was told only a skirt and nice blouse would do. Opinions?

    Business casual at minimum. So that can be a dress, skirt, slacks, whatever. Better a touch overdressed than underdressed.

    Do NOT dare show up in scrubs. It doesn't matter if that is the nursing uniform--you're not a nurse working there yet. You are a professional trying to get hired into a company that doesn't know anything about you other than the first impression you will make. You need to make it a good one.

    IMO, the only time showing up for an interview in scrubs is acceptable is if the manager stops you during/right after work and says, "hey, got 10 minutes to talk about this position?"

    Best of luck!

    Hey there, Congrats!

    I worked at a Family Community Clinic right out of LVN school in 2012.

    I wore a nice blouse, black slacks and flats. I prefer pants over skirts. But a skirt would do just fine also. I suggest in this setting that you dress business casual for the interview.

    Good Luck
