I agree with the you can't overdress. I sat in in the interviews we held recently to hire a person for an opening we have at our EMS Service, and I couldn't believe that most of the candidates had on jeans. I would never go to an interview for any job wearing jeans.

I talked to an HR rep about this not long ago because I was hiring 12 people for an entry level position. She hires regularly for her company. She said that you should dress one level above what is common attire for the position. If you were normally going to wear business casual then wear a shirt and tie. If you would normally wear a shirt and tie then wear a suit for the interview. I had a few people show up in suits that were just not right for a job interview. I would recommend just a shirt and tie.

Should I wear a tie for an interview as a Meat Cutter?

Tips?

(please spare the "meat" jokes for later, haha)
Wear a suit! It shows respect for yourself and the interviewer.
Good luck, my Brother!

Darrell, you only get one chance to make a first impression. I interview a lot of potential employees, if they don't show up dressed appropriately I write them off with no chance of getting the job regardless of their experience! I think you should dress your BEST regardless of what the job is.
Best of luck with your interview, I understand that Whole Foods is a great place to work.

I was a Chef for six years prior to joining the AF. Wear a tie, present yourself as a professional and blow the socks off of those tree huggin' bastages. Got every job I ever had that way.....in fact my last "interview" at a full brigade French brasserie was to debone and portion a whole lamb....just so you're prepared Good luck, brother.
