What to wear for second interview

[spunkarella]

I am interviewing for an accounting position in the healthcare field.

For the first interview, I met with the owner/CEO and the CFO. The were both dressed in khakis, casual-ish button downs (one plaid, one company logo) and casual almost hiking type shoes. I wore a suit.

I have a second interview tomorrow with them, plus two other employees. Which would you choose?

For an accounting position? A suit, most definitely. It doesn't matter what the CEO wears on a normal workday.

I recently had a similar dilemma. I ended up wearing the same outfit I wore to the first interview and just wore different jewelry and blouse.

Thanks, I figured a suit would be best but I needed some assurance that wearing the same suit again won't look strange.

As long as the suit was a very basic color (I'm thinking black or navy) and you wear it w a very different top, they'll never notice its the same suit.

It is a light grey skirt and jacket.

I also have matching light grey pants, but they are flats-length and none of my flats are interview appropriate.

Unless one of the male accountants is also a fabulous fasionista, they are not likely to notice that you are wearing the same suit with a different blouse. Good luck with the job.

Dress for Success is a good charity that helps people in distress by providing interview wear such as suits that don't fit.

Buy new shoes and wear the pants:)

Or, can you just re-hem the pants? If the fabric wasn't removed it should take 20 minutes and a little ironing.

Yeah, you can pick up plain flats anywhere.
