When you interview do you wear suits ? How about night before dinners ? Formal or informal ? Dress or jeans ?
Thank-you.
depends on u , whats ur ethnicity ?
no jeans for dinner or interviews...u dont have to be too formal. Just nice pants/skirts with nice dress shirts is good for both. I wouldnt wear dresses for dinner or interviews. close-toed shoes for sure. just be confdent and wear a smile.
Studyinghard ! Thank-you for that useful info.
Dr.no , what does ethnicity have to do with it ? Will Japanese wear the Kimono and the Indian a saree ?!
For interviews definetly formal . Nice fitting pants or skirt with dress shirt and dress shoes stcokings etc . Definetly try to look young ,smart ,energetic and confident . Dressing is very important for both men and women.
Casual wear for the dinner and do not boar them with questions about program etc during those casual dinners . Talk casual and friendly . Good Luck

For a lady, a black skirt suit with a low heeled black shoe to match is ideal.
Jewelrys to the minimum.
No dangling earings, and necklace.
Wear a ladys wrist watch only to be on the safe side.
Wedding rings of course are acceptable.
Hair should be coporate...............no flamboyant curls.
No handbangs
A coporate black roller bag is fine ......in which to keep your files and personal effects...make up, mouth wash, apples, floss, etc

If you are from the middle east [Arab/muslim]a nice and simple black silky head scalf simply place on your head and tucked round your neck is acceptable. All in all dressing MUST be corporate.

I hope that helps
