The only exception would be if it is a very small company AND the interviewer tells you that its ok to dress casually for the interview. It may not be necessary to wear a suit for a position like the one you mentioned, but clean, neatly ironed pants and shirt (with a tie), and clean dress shoes look more professional if you are a guy. If you are interviewing people to work for your business and you prefer the casual look, then tell them to dress casually when you schedule the interview over the phone. webhead28 Whenever you are interviewing for any position in an office you should dress professionally, even if the job is low-paying.

I.E. a suit and tie in a law office is appropriate for just about any position no matter how "low-paying".... a suit and tie for a clerical job in a surf shop...not so appropriate So you see it all depends on the situation...going to an interview is one of the stressful things a person can do...if you CAN'T see past the suit....... lil_sister58 If the candidate has done the research on the position applied for ….they should know and therefore dress appropriately.

It is expected that a candidate should present the image of polished, professional and business-like, especially if the job is in an office environment. If someone is applying for a carpenter's job, showing up in a suit and tie is obviously inappropriate. One dresses in accordance to meet or exceed the standard of the profession. If the candidate demonstrates poor judgment in something as simple as appearances, then there is the perception that there's a good chance he or she will demonstrate poor judgment in other areas as well.

Dressing well is something small & shouldn't even be a 2nd thought. It shows you take pride in your appearance & care what other people think of you, the image you project, & how you represent the company you work for. How can you expect to advance from that low-paying position to something better if you can't even take the time to buy a freaking tie? lol God is in the details or something like that.

I would hate to interview someone for the position, and when they show up for the first day of work, they aren't dressed properly because they don't own a tie. At least if they show up wearing a tie to the interview, I know that they own at least one tie. BH\'s brother I wouldn’t say a suit is needed, but a tie is nice.
