I should blend in and look like an employee. If jeans and leather jackets is what they like, that’s what I will wear.
I should look a little better than their everyday wear, but I don’t want to come off like I’m better than everyone else. I’ll put on something that’s informal but not as casual.
It is an interview after all, I should look professional, but I’m still worried that they would think I couldn’t fit in with their corporate culture. I’ll put on something that is business casual and make sure that everything is well ironed, clean, and that the details like shoes, belts, and nails aren’t distracting.
I need to get in through the door. This is a Fortune500 company after all. I’ll dress with full formal attire, and pay attention to all the details- clean, pressed, and trim.
