Attire for Co-op interview with Software Development Company?
Okay, so I really want this co-op position. I've already bought an outfit to wear for the interview. But, I'm hearing all sorts of differing advice from people about what I should wear... and I really want to know if what I've chosen will be appropriate. First of all, this interview is pre-selected so they already seem to like me as far as credentials. The position is for college students and the interviews are being held at my school's career center. With that being said, do you think they're still expecting the full suit attire from college students? Some people are saying short-sleeved shirts are bad to wear. But is this rule for men only? Or women too? Would it apply to a college girl...? I picked out a short-sleeved black blouse (maybe I'll wear a simple camisole underneath). And black dress pants. Everything is solid black. Should I switch it up with something black striped? I really appreciate any advice I can get because this is really important to me. Thank you!

- The best thing to do is to check out the dress code for the position you are applying to and go up one level. For example, if you're applying for a job where the dress code is causual, go for business casual, etc.
