I was given interview advice in the past to not wear open toes to interviews. Dont' know if it's good advice or not. I guess at least some folks think open toes are too casual. Just a thought.

Grrr....so far I dunno if I'm even gonna GET an interview.

Still haven't been called. I did finally get the letter today and it included the guy's contact info, so I called, but only got voice mail. I left a message, but...

And the letter says I'm supposed to ensure we make contact by the 26th, or I won't be considered. Says if I haven't been called, I'm supposed to call him. OK...but does voice mail count?

I guess if I don't hear back by noon tomorrow or so, I'll call again. I'm just half afraid they'll interview someone before me and hire them without my getting a chance. Yes, I'm paranoid. At this point, wouldn't anyone be?

It'd be good advice for me, because I have ugly feet no one wants to see ;~D Otherwise, I think what's appropriate depends on the level and formality of the position and the company. If it's for a very casual position or company, it is possible to overdress for a position so much that they can't picture you in the job. I advised clients to try to look like the others in the position look, or at least no more than one notch better.

Hmmm! Well, I have a pair of loafers I'm probably gonna wear ... closed toe, flat heel.

I bought one of those two-piece skirt combinations with the gauzy floral pattern skirt and the solid top. The top is teal, and the skirt is yellow/green/lavender/blue. It feels so light and cool, which is important, since the heat index was 109 today!

This place is supposedly casual ... I'm gonna wear the flats, though, I think.
