what should I wear to the interview? - clauser


Posted: Aug 15, 2012

I applied for a job as a scribe.  Should I wear scrubs to the interview do you think?

do not wear scrubs - dress nicely

First impressions are everything, and you are a professional. Once you are in the job, wear the scrubs.

GOOD LUCK! THAT IS WHAT I WANT TO DO!

okay thanks - clauser

don't have many of my old office clothes anymore but I'm sure I can find something. I heard women don't wear pantyhose anymore! LOL. I found a hospital that actually trains their scribes.

I would suggest still wearing hose if you're wearing a skirt. Dress socks/short hose if you're wearing pants. It enhances the professional image for the interview.

GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

no, don't wear scrubs to an interview - wheres_my_job

I would wear a casual pantsuit, not super fussy, but a jacket, blouse and pants - emphasis casual - not matchy-matchy - they're on What Not To Wear TV show all the time.

Scrubs are way too informal, I think. I could be wrong. But I don't think anyone ever goes to an interview in scrubs.

You might find this interesting.. - mt

Transcribing An Interview
Jul 14, 2010

I am doing some side work transcribing a research interview, and was wondering your opinions.  One of the respondents in the interview panel is ESL.  Her grammar is very often incorrect.  I asked them when I got the project if they wanted the transcription verbatim, and she said "yes, let's leave it true to form."  I had asked because the previous work had a lot of "like" and "you know" in it, and transcribing every utterance was actually really hard.  ...
