Is this appropriate for a job interview?

[Deleted]

Minus the necklace. I bought this cute dress from J Crew factory a while ago and want to dress it up like the picture. Its for an assistant nurse manager position. Will probably never have to wear a suit to work--always wear scrubs, even when meeting with upper management. I have a conservative gray BR suit that I could wear with a blue button up if needed.

It's a very cute dress and probably appropriate for the interview but if you have the suit definitely wear the suit.

I think it's fine. Very cute! I'd keep hair and makeup still pretty conservative.

[shopgirl07]

I think so. Add a pair of heels and it's very chic and professional.

I think it's great for an interview! Good luck!

What's the fabric? If it's a soft cotton type, I'd skip it. If it's a "firmer" fabric, I say great!

I'm a traditionalist with interviews.

I love that dress, but I'd go with a suit.

Its wool, like my suit

No, IMO. I am a purist when it comes to interviews. Go with the suit.

Good luck!

Nice dress, but you need to wear the suit for a job interview.

I wouldn't wear it. Go with the suit.

Suit

[LeggsBenedict]

I like the dress, but not the shirt.

[AmeliaBedelia]

I'd go with a suit. Or maybe the dress with a cardigan over it? It's a really cute outfit, but I don't think its right for an interview.

[nursewife]

I lurse it/

[pooh8402]

I'd wear a suit, but I always wear a suit for interviews, even for staff nurse. For assistant manager? Definitely.

[Deleted]

I love that dress but for a job interview I'd play it safe with the suit.

[cville]

I might wear that to a second interview, but to a first round I'd go suit.

[Deleted]

I had a feeling the suit would win. I was leaning toward it too. The job is a long shot because there are more experienced RNs interviewing too. I'm doing it more for practice in case i interview at a different hospital

[rachers]

If you're leaning towards it anyways definitely play it safe with the suit.

Suit. The dress might work with a black blazer for a second interview, but not with the shirt underneath - it looks too casual.

Suit
Save this for when they invite you to lunch to discuss the position further : )

Love the dress. Yes to it. But no statement necklace, wear closed toed pumps and have neat hair.

The only way I'd wear that dress to an interview is minus the blouse underneath and with a blazer on top of it. It's a cute dress, but I don't think I'd wear it as styled to an interview.
