Season's greetings mamas and (the few) papas.

Hope all are doing well with the holidays rounding home!

Speaking of holidays and money, I have an interview this week at yes, a supermarket to be a driver! In my current state of unemployment, I said I would explore all options so here we are.

My question is, I am so used to interviewing for office positions that I am not sure what to wear for this one. I don't want to overdress to appear desperate and I don't want to underdress either.

I'm thinking of slacks and a sweater.

Thoughts?

What can I do next?

So What Happened?

Thanks everyone. I'm just going to be driving a van and delivering groceries.

What is a driver at the supermarket? That would help us determine what you should wear.

1. You can never go wrong in a suit. Just keep it more casual - put a light sweater or shirt under it and keep all buttons open.

2. Wear black pants that fit well with a nice tailored shirt. Cute shoes and professional bag.

3. Again, black pants with a very basic sweater. No loud colors. Maybe a tailored shirt underneath.

Good luck.

Slacks and sweater set or sweater & jacket are my votes. Still 3 pieces, just a notch down from a suit.
Good luck!

Sounds just right to me. I would be surprised if you showed up in jeans and a tee but I bet a lot do. It makes you appear more adult than college or high school. So yes to the slacks and sweater.

IMHO, slacks and a sweater for a driver position is perfect.

Good luck! Crossing my fingers for you!

Slacks and a sweater should be fine. I think that as a driver you will be wearing a uniform. As a clerk you'd be wearing slacks and a sweater. Slacks and a sweater would be good for nearly any job interview.
