What do you wear to an interview at a construction company? I had no idea. I have no experience with this world....I know that somewhere in my brain the idea of "heels and hose" felt wrong, but what else do you wear to interview? I really didn't know what to think about this.
I called Barbara, who, being an environmental scientist would know about these things. She said, "Wear, jeans, work boots, a tee shirt and a long-sleeved shirt". On an interview? Jeans and a tee? I couldn't get past this! Jeans and a tee. So she helped me out with the work boots, and the rest was in my closet. It just felt so wrong to interview dressed like this! But I showed up Wednesday for the interview, in jeans and a tee, and I couldn't believe I was really doing this!
I had to keep from laughing at myself ---- talk about being out of your comfort zone!!! I loved the woman who interviewed me, and essentially walked out of there with a job.
I have to say that after years of people saying, "No" when I would ask for a job, it was a great feeling to have someone say, "Yes." I would get a call Friday. Jeans and a tee were perfect.
