Brian! I have an interview Monday afternoon and it is going to be 95 degrees outside! I'm a woman - what should I wear that won't make me break into a sweat?

[BrianKrueger]

@Gratificationow - you can wear something lightweight and cooler as long as it's not in any way transparent--keep it conservative. You'll likely be sweating enough just being in an interview, so do your best to stay out of the heat in advance. If that's not possible, arrive early for the interview and duck into a nearby bathroom (air conditioned) to get prepped for the interview.

Hi Brian, can you wear black and white?

[BrianKrueger]

@ilmare102 - you can, but you should give it some color in your accessories (tie for men) or you will look like you're wearing your funeral suit.

hey brian..just wanna ask.. my interviewer today left me in the room to get the IT head to interview me.. should i stand when she stand and get inside the room?

[BrianKrueger]

@momointhephils - yes, always stand up when a new interviewer enters the room. Be ready to shake hands when introduced, although let them make the gesture for shaking hands first.

hi there I looked a lot of tips in da net but your 1 is the best .Thanks 4 keeping these vdo on da net .These tips are really valuable and lot of people can learn lot of things which they didnt know.

@thearaban - sure, you can mix it up some. It sounds like you only have one suit (or perhaps only one suit that would work well for the interview). You can change up your outfit with a different shirt, etc. If your suit is conservative, HR probably won't remember that you wore it to the first interview.
