What to where?

bueller? bueller?

What you wear depends on the type of job. I would stay away from capris abd sandals though. Cotton/linen slacks and a nice short/cap sleeved top should work

Or a shift style dress with cap sleeves

No to the lab coat - just my opinion. Keylime's suggestions sound good.

Thanks. The only reason I brought up the capris is that EVERYONE wears them in July and August when it is 100 degrees out. I have slacks to wear.

It's a prn supplemental staff nurse in a rehab unit

I know I'm not in the south, but in my area last year was a blistering summer where it was near 100 degrees, and I ended up having an interview and a second interview on dangerously-hot days.

I wore ballet flats both times and when I was done with the interview, switch to flip flops after the interviews to give my body some aeration...my feet are central to my temperature control issues.

As for my clothing, I wore a shift dress to one interview, the next interview, linen pants, and I survived.

Wear pants, not capri pants, so you have a better chance at getting the job and the ability to pay for air conditioning in which you'll be able to wear whatever you want.

I feel you about the heat. But do NOT wear capri pants. Yes, everyone wears them for business casual. But a job interview is NEVER that casual.

I would never WEAR capris OR sandals to an interview. Too casual. I'm old school and would never show my toes in front of potential bosses. And why a lab coat? Ditch that pronto, in my opinion

It must be a regional thing, because the dress code handbook I was presented with for my new job talks about appropriate business casual dress, if you're allowed in your department. It explicitly spells out that open-toes shoes are unacceptable footwear, which I agree with, mostly on a safety front.

Is it only me that thinks its incredibly sad that grown professional adults need to be told what they can and can't wear in a business setting?

No, because unfortunately, not everyone had the tools to be successful in life to know etiquette, or even professionalism for that matter, that the unfortunate reality.

Kind of depressing actually!
