Message Name: Pants suites are fine

In Reply To: I've been working overseas for a few years and I'm not certain what constitutes interview attire in today's "business casual" enviornment. I'm looking for work in sales/customer relationship management in the financial services sector. So professional/conservative is appropriate. I have several sharp, professional pantsuits but, when I left the states, skirt suits were considered standard business attire. Any thoughts/feedback is appreciated. Thanks
Message: The general idea is to dress at least to the level of the company you are interviewing at. If it's a financial services or legal firm, dress even further up. If it's casual, you should still do casual professional. The days of dot-com are largely behind us now, and looking sharp won't hurt.
