Dress for a Librarian Interview

It's always important to dress well for a job interview. Different fields may require different kinds of outfits. If you are interviewing for a librarian position, dress conservatively.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Tailored suit
  • Matching shoes
  1. Step 1

    Find something conservative. Choose a suit that has a matching jacket and skirt or pants. Avoid clothes with pills or lace. Choose solid colors or patterns that won't take attention from you.

  2. Step 2

    Choose a color to wear. The conservative, tailored, solid color suits are best. Stay away from pinks or garish colors. If it's summer, go with a stone or tan shade. In the fall and winter, go with navy, black, gray or brown. Sometimes maroon or burgundy can also work.

  3. Step 3

    Whether you're in a skirt or pants, wear comfortable shoes that match the suit. Black and nave work best as accent colors. If you're wearing brown, green or maroon, consider wearing a brown shoe. Choose a shoe that is a solid color shoe with a heel no higher than 2 inches.

  4. Step 4

    If you're bringing material to show to the interviewer, bring it in a conservative briefcase or tote. The bag may have a mild stripe or a wood or woven handle; it doesn't have to be leather. It should not be lacy and should not show a wild print. Leather, tweed, cotton and vinyl are fine; polyester is also usable.

Tips & Warnings
  • Plan the event carefully; it may make all of the difference when interviewing at the more conservative institutions.
