Yo yo, I got an interview coming up for a ski sales rep at Evo tomorrow. Wondering if you guys have any recommendations for what I should wear. I've already met a few of the employees and the manager so I think I have a decent first impression. I was thinking some nice khakis, dress shoes, solid color woven t shirt and a casual watch
idk maybe i'm just used to a different work world and ski websites are even more laid back than i picture, but i can't imagine wearing a t shirt of any kind to an interview of any kind. i say wear a nice button up, nice slacks, and dress shoes

It's split 50/50 everywhere I read online. I'm for sure wearing nice slacks and nice dress shoes. I just don't wanna show up over dressed

But why would you wear slacks/dress shoes with a t shirt? That'd look weird, IMO. Just wear a collared shirt, it doesn't even need to be a dress shirt. I've got a couple collared shirts from Vans that look good with khakis, or even a nice flannel would work.

It'd be like a dress t shirt. But yeah I'm leaning towards a casual button up
There’s no such thing as being over dressed to a job interview.
I have an interview at a hardware store and I plan on wearing a dress shirt. Don’t wear a t shirt to a job interview dude...
Okay word.. no t shirt because I'll look like a fool, and no short sleeve button up because I'll look like a serial killer. Solid color long sleeve button up it is..
yeah man even in the skiing world i don't think overdressing is a real worry at an interview. i mean in this case if you showed up in a full suit and acted like a douche, maybe they'd get the impression that you wouldn't be a good fit. but every employer values someone who takes things seriously and shows up looking presentable. in my opinion a long sleeve button up, nice slacks, and dress shoes is the minimum you should consider

LOL you're interviewing for a seasonal ski shop job. They're only checking you out in person to make sure you don't have track marks on your arms, it doesn't fucking matter what you wear. I bet you take 30 minutes to decide what to have for breakfast.

For someone who's unemployed with minimal experience and applying to a job that 30 other people are applying to... Yeah it makes a difference
This is a tough call and really a judgement call in a lot of circumstances like this. I work in a construction field, and sat on an interview panel this week. Most candidates wore full suits and I thought that was overkill until the head boss came in at lunch and was like, ‘is that one of the candidates in his Carhartts for the interview??’ In a tone that suggested he did not approve.
I read that you already did it, so good luck- but my rule of thumb is that you wear the fanciest thing you would actually wear to a given day in the job, within the style of appropriate dress code for that job.
Its a ski industry job. Put yourself in their shoes. If you were interviewing someone who's job was to sell ski equipment how would you want him to look? I would want him to look like a youthful skier who actually hits the slopes. Dont dress like a bum, just throw on a flannel and some khakis. I work at a ski shop and half the time I see reps walking in wearing t-shirts, chacos and shorts. Its about what you know, not how well you dress.

Dude you should poke Sklar for some advice. He works there.
Personally though, I’ve always been a fan of over dressing. You can run the risk of seeming too stiff, but it never hurts to be overly professional.

Yeah man I was definitely worried about them thinking I was super up tight or some shit lol. Interview went good tho, they saw I was stoked and knew my gear talk so I got a good feeling

Why are you the way that you are? Dude, just go away.

I had a guy show up for a construction interview dressed exactly like Donald Trump. Big fat Italian guy in an oversized black suit and long ass tie. It was fucking awesome. I can’t remember if he had anything good to say I was too focused on the suit choice
Every now and then newschoolers has a magical moment where something happens that no one imagined would actually happen. Last one I remember was those kids hitting Chads gap
