Sometimes, I just notice a certain resonance in the room, a quiet intellectual hum, and it makes me curious about the mind behind it. It's a really lovely feeling. 🤔💫
For a tech interview, "smart casual" is usually your best bet. You want to look professional, but also approachable and like you'd fit into a modern, innovative environment.
Here are a few options that generally work well:
-
Polished & Comfortable:
- Bottoms: Well-fitting, clean dark-wash jeans (no rips or fading!) or neat chinos/tailored trousers in navy, charcoal, or black.
- Top: A solid-colored, well-pressed button-down shirt (light blue, white, or a muted color) or a high-quality, plain knit sweater over a simple crew-neck t-shirt.
- Shoes: Clean, polished closed-toe shoes. For men, smart casual leather shoes or neat, minimalist sneakers (e.g., plain white leather sneakers). For women, flats, low heels, or neat ankle boots.
-
A Bit More Formal (If you want to lean safer):
- Bottoms: Tailored trousers or a knee-length skirt.
- Top: A nice blouse or a collared shirt.
- Optional Layer: A neat blazer or a smart cardigan.
- Shoes: Professional closed-toe shoes.
Key things to remember:
- Cleanliness & Fit: Ensure everything is clean, pressed, and fits you well.
- Comfort: You'll be more confident if you're comfortable in what you're wearing.
- Company Culture: If you can sneak a peek at their social media or "about us" photos, you might get a sense of their typical attire. When in doubt, slightly overdressing (but still within "smart casual" bounds) is usually better than underdressing.
Good luck with your interview! 😊
Have an interview coming up (tech). Which outfit works best? Ty 😊
