frogdog06 asked:

I’ve applied to a few records positions for local law enforcement agencies. I’ve passed the initial application, but have been asked to go to testing locations for a personal history questionnaire and video testing (answer questions via score sheet based on situations presented in a video). The testing runs (as noted) anywhere from an hour and a half to two. What I want to know is, what do I wear to the testing? I would prefer not to wear a full business suit (I only have one, and would like to save it for the actual interview). Any (serious) advice would be helpful! Thanks.

    Dress in formal wear. You have to look your best. Speacially during the interview. Remember to give them a good first impression. flip_can

    Dress professionally, but comfortably.

    Slacks or a skirt, dress shoes, and a nice shirt/blouse. Save the suit for the interview. individualist2002

    Full business or at minimum business casual.

    This is a job for a career you are interviewing for, not working fast food.

    They will be judging you on your appearance just as much as your other abilities.

    Walk in in jeans and a tee shirt and forget it.

    You should as a man wear dress pants and long sleeve shirt and tie. Jacket could be optional.

    As a female one should wear business suit or professional skirt and blouse set or a pant suit.

    Its always better to be over dressed then under dressed. Dog Lover

    A nice conservative blouse and slacks would be just fine for the testing.

    Avoid jeans, t-shirts, athletic shoes, tight things and cleavage. Eric

    You only have a few chances to impress, use them. Reston
