Re: Question about dressing for job interviews

["Laura A Mac Lemale" <lmaclemale -at- paychex -dot- com>]

Hello,

Building on what others have already said, and speaking from a purely East Coast,
U.S., upstate NY perspective:

I would say, "go with the suit."  If you're in the Boston area, I'm assuming it
can't hurt a first impression.  I've only had interviews on the U.S. East coast,
and they have always been on the conservative side (i.e., I wear a suit,
interviewer wears a suit, etc.).  People seem to appreciate it, and believe that
you take the interview seriously and that you're a serious candidate.

That said, however, others Techwr-Lers from around the world have recommended
being aware of the company culture and wardrobe expectations before going in.
Know your audience - that makes perfect sense to me.

Regards,
Laura (who wears suits to work often, anyway  - company culture and all that :)
