Rule 2: Err Towards Formality
It is harder to overcome being underdressed than being overdressed
Dress like a professional and you will feel like a professional
If you feel overdressed
- Don't Panic: You're sending a strong message about taking the position seriously
- Politely tell the interviewer that the casual dress code gives the office a warm and familiar atmosphere that you would like to be a part of
- If you can, discretely remove your jacket and drape it over your chair
If You feel underdressed
- Maintain a professional demeanor, to compensate for informal attire
- Maintain an erect posture
- Speak formally (avoiding colloquialisms and words such as "like" and "you know").
- Mention that you were misinformed about the dress code and you look forward to dressing more professionally
