WHAT DO I WEAR TO THAT!!????
dο i stick wіth business casual аѕ іf i wаѕ getting dressed fοr a day οf work!???
Business casual, no jeans. Jeans are not professional, and business casual is bordering on the unprofessional, but just barely acceptable for most places.
You are going to preform a business transaction therefore it would be business casual.
Yes, stick with business casual. It is always good to go with the nicer choice and look more professional, especially for those who are hiring you. The first couple impressions are the most important.
Honestly, I’d dress the way the person that interviewed you did, but perhaps slightly more formal. Forget wearing jeans until you have permission to wear them! Even if the person who interviewed you wore them, I still wouldn’t wear jeans until I KNEW that it was acceptable and that means asking.
This is something to discuss at today’s meeting. Also, if you’re wearing something inappropriate, talking about money may not go very well.
Good luck today!
Always dress as you would for work, if that means business casual, then that’s what you should wear. If jeans are acceptable at work, then you can wear them to this meeting.
Plus, there is not harm in being overdressed. Being underdressed or sloppy can cost you the job.
Your best bet is professional, and during your conversation about money you can bring up the expectations regarding dress code. When in doubt, always go professional! Remember: you may have the job, but you are on “probation” for at least 90 days, and every move you make reflects your future with that organization. Put your best face (and clothing) forward and show that you have what it takes!
i would wear whatever i would wear to the actual job- either dress pants and a blazer or a nice skirt and top or a business dress. it’s rarely bad to be overdressed.
