I've been applying for professional office jobs lately and applied for a fun-sounding bike industry related job too. I got an interview, but am not sure what to wear. I wore a dressy skirt-suit for the other interviews. What's appropriate for this one where the majority of workers are actually building ( I applied for more of an office job)?

I would say to wear what you've been wearing to make a good impression, and then ask about dress when you get the job.


I hope that helps

Are you applying to a bike shop or that J&B open position? Both you could go with the "business casual" look, although the shop it is overkill.

Neither. More of a builder

Bike related t-shirt.

I'll bet 5 bucks that's what the interviewer will be wearing.

Ha! I have many to choose from. In fact I'm wearing one right now


I'm thinking dress pants, a blouse and nice shoes but not too much of a heel.

I normally go by the rule of dressing one step above what you would expect them to wear in the job. It's better to dress up than to be too casual.

I would go with the dressy business type clothes - it makes a better impression than if you wore thongs and a t-shirt (even if that might be what you're allowed to wear on the job).

Yup! That would be my rule of thumb also!

I bet the one I'm wearing is cooler :)
