What should I wear to a job orientation?

[Hawaiian Boy]

As you may or may not know, I have a job orientation this wednesday evening, at a cellular store, that is asking for a Nextel/Hawaiian Telcom rep.

I'm used to wearing a collared shirt and slacks for school, but on Wednesday, we'll be wearing a tie.

What should I wear to this orientation? Maybe a collared shirt w/ jeans, or slacks, or even a button down aloha shirt? What about a tie?

I would just wear whatever you were going to wear to work on the first day. Even though it might not be necessary at an orientation, it does leave a good impression and makes you look like you're serious about being here. If your boss/supervisor etc. feels that it's not necessary, he'll tell you what to wear next time, but it most likely wouldn't work against you.

so, its better to overdress, then to underdress?

for orientation at my work we are told to dress however we like... it's just training and the boss doesn't mind

however i do work for food services... our orientation is just re-certification for food safety

I'd go with a collared shirt, clean jeans or khakis. no tie.

dress appropriate
dont over do it with a suit and stuff or something
just something clean

[gq_fuzion]

go to the store and see what the employees wear

then dress down a bit from what they're wearing

I would dress in a shirt and tie, given that that's what you wear normally to work.

If it seems too inappropriate you can just take off the tie.

Don't go in PJ's!!! I'll never make that mistake again!!! j/k

I recommend a dard blue long sleeved shirt with a red tie. White dress pants, a brown leather belt, with black dress shoes. What I wore to my job interview, I got the job over someone else.

I'm fat, so can I wear it? (and add tourists to that list)

I don't know about Hawaii dress code, but generally wear something formal, but also casual, like khaki's with a Dockers shirt. And keep the tie in the car in case you need it

Bascially, this is what I have:



That's my "most used clothes". I think I have more in my closet, but I have to look.

I have black slacks and blue jeans to go with them, along with khaki pants
