littlet4lks Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Sorry if this is a dumb question but I'm an extremely anxious person who overthinks everything. I have a slew of interviews coming up this weekend. I am planning on wearing a blazer, nice blouse, and dress pants. What kind of bag should I be wearing? Tote bag or crossbody? Also, I am planning on wearing booties that I normally wear when I am in clinic but is that appropriate for this? Any help or advice is appreciated!

futurespeechpath1 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I wore dress plants, blazer, blouse, leather flats that I wear when I'm in clinic, and no purse. I don't really remember anyone having a purse but if you want to bring one maybe bring a smaller one. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ie.slp Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 I was planning on wearing dress pants, blouse, blazer, and flats! I also overthink everything and am debating about what to bring. If anyone who's interviewed before can weigh in as well- should I bring my resume or a notebook? I was going to bring a small tote bag to carry all of that but now might be leaning towards a crossbody if I don't need to bring those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see that we are both interviewing at the same schools, so good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roseroserose Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I'm also interviewing at BU, Northeastern, and Emerson! As someone who's had a bunch of job interviews in the past few years (I'm an out-of-field applicant, and mainly worked in schools prior to this year), I'd wear anything that's professional and appropriate that you feel comfortable in. For me, that's a pencil skirt and blouse, with black tights and ankle boots. For someone else, it could look totally different. Basically, wear something that's, like, one step fancier than you'd usually wear to work or clinic. I wouldn't wear a skirt if you usually never do, or flats if you prefer heels, for example. As bags go, I'm planning to bring a smallish purse to keep my phone, chapstick, and any papers I'm given in. I'm also planning on bringing a notebook with a folder pocket in it, to hold my CV. I don't think we'll need our CVs (in fact, one of my professors said that we probably wouldn't), but better safe than sorry. I was just going to carry the notebook in my hand, but that's not for any professional reason--I just like to have something to hold on to. And best of luck for your interviews! littlet4lks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
