What should I wear for an engineering interview (for women)?

Asked by ilovechoc (142points) August 12th, 2011

Hi,

I will have my first job interview next week, but I’m really confused on what to wear for my interview. I’ve searched online for some dressing tips, but I read mixed reviews about the engineering interview attire.

Some said that no matter what kind of interview it is, we should wear pant suits / dress suits, but there are some others who said that wearing suits to engineering interviews are considered overdressed, and on top of that skirts are not encouraged in this field…

Can anyone recommend me some dressing tips for women (preferably from those who work or had done interviews in the engineering industry)?

By the way, the job position that I’m interviewing for is electrical engineer, and application engineer position (if that can give you a better picture on the situation)

Thank you in advance! I really appreciate it :)
