I'm going to have a job interview. The company accepts business-casual style on interviews. But what exactly this means? What are the possible choices? Is jeans appropriate? What colors: is e.g. brown khakis ok?
Help me please, this really make me anxious.
Most companies these days say "business casual", which means it's somewhere between "suit and tie" and "shirts with death metal lyrics on them", depending on the company. I usually ask the office administrator/secretary I set up the interview with; I'd rather feel stupid asking then show up embarrassingly over/under-dressed. If you don't want to ask, probably khaki pants and a polo or dress shirt
Edit: As for colors, I don't think it matters, but probably some effort to match would be good
Depends, what's the business.
For example, I work for a bank, their idea of business casual is nice pants (no jeans) with a collared shirt. But business casual for my old job (An IT Company) was jeans and a t-shirt.
And remember, always dress one level higher for an interview :)
Business casual can vary, but it is definitely not jeans. I would suggest a button down shirt, khaki pants, a belt, loafers or some other form of casual dress shoe. A tie and coat are not necessary, though.
"Business casual" is one of those phrases that every tech company today says, so it's lost all meaning. (Do they also say "quality is job one" and "we only hire the best"?)
Of the last 3 places I've worked, the dress code has been fairly different, despite always being described as "business casual". So you've really got to ask, or take a tour, to find out what it means to them.
FWIW, the most formal I've seen it mean (in Seattle) is jeans, a t-shirt, and shoes. But I've never worked for a bank, or in NYC, or for Intel Corp, or as management -- any of these things could drastically affect what they mean by it.
