Re: Interviewing
Posted by amber on 6/13/08
I am interviewing in Texas. We have reached what the weathermen
report as 99 beacuse it sounds cooler than 100. I have several
pant suits that I wear. I have short sleeve pantsuits that I
wear. I have wore just a blouse to job fairs. Some of my suits
are dark colored and hot. The school here don't always have the
ac on in all parts of the school. I was more dressed than my
interviwers and it didn't bother me. Just have plenty of time so
you are not fast walking to find the office.
