Hey team,
I have a dilemma: I'm scheduled to appear for a job interview next week (it's a long interview; 6 hours from start to finish).
Part of the interview-scheduling e-mail reads: "We are business casual here."
Help me interpret this!
Should I read this to mean:
* Do not wear a suit to this interview (from the viewpoint of showing up "too" formal), or
* Dress better than jeans and a shirt (from the viewpoint of showing up "too" casual)
The place I live no means characterized by "big city" life, but is a burgeoning city filled with yuppies who drink micro-brewed beer and wear hiking boots quite often. I interviewed for a different position in this company recently, and wore a suit. I received comments on how "well-dressed" I was (not a hard mark to hit where I live), and two of the interviewers were wearing wrinkled T-shirts.
This is a large company--800 employees with a sizable campus.
I would prefer not to look like an idiot. I can assemble a smart business casual outfit, but would (of course) rather wear a suit.
Any advice?
