There's a few ways to look at it.

Generally accepted knowledge nowadays is that its best to dress similar to what is standard dress at the office. Im not sure this is the case in my experience. Myself and all other candidates I saw wore suits. I wore a suit to the interviews for the job I have now, and the dress is business casual there. But I work in the financial sector.

As such I disagree with the generally accepted knowledge today and agree with you. This stuff changes so often anyway.

Yes. The problem is that you can have a job interview at a design studio where people are wearing torn jeans and t-shirts and be a complete fish out of water by wearing a suit and tie. I don't contend that he should wear ripped jeans and a t-shirt, but something middle of the line (dressy casual) will probably be best for this studio.

Then the next interview he has could be at a very conservative magazine where people do wear ties and fancy overcoats. Time Magazine is probably in this category.

Bandit, wear a suit to your Urban Latino interview. Although the dress code is casual, it's better to present yourself in a professional manner.

Yea, thats what I'm going to do for both. I need to present myself in a well manner regardless of environment and how their dress code is.

As in suit and tie. Regardless of what their dress code is, I dont work for them so I cant go dressing up like them in the interview. I need to present myself in a well manner and look professional with suit and tie.

I agree, I was just pointing out how in some studio environments a tie is a turn off (dressing professionally without a tie isn't impossible). Obviously not the case here.

Well, I had my first interview with the hookup from cowdisease. Everything went well and I was there for only like 20mins. I got the internship. Need to talk to chairperson about it.

I have interview with Time Inc. this Wednesday. Hopefully it works out. Regardless, I have an internship for the summer.

Time to register for it and be even more broke with this high as tuition.

Thanks to cowdisease, this is the coolest internship and most interesting. They had a photoshoot for the next issue (music theme) and a bunch of artists came..NORE, Pitbull, Notch and some upcoming stars or current stars (just never heard of them), Chingo Bling, Julius Cesar, Tres Coronas, Latin Fresh, Otto Sanchez. I started at 10:30am and didnt finish till 9pm. I had to run a errand to get a charger that was left behind at the last photoshoot for Aventura so I didnt get a chance to take a pic with NORE but I did get Pitbulls, Notchs and Chingo Bling (w/auto). I got sick too. Came home and had a 101 degree fever, couldnt breathe or anything but well worth it.

I'll post pictures when I get home.

Urban Latino Magazine gave me a bunch of stuff to do already..logos, I had to do a invitation flyer for Nina Sky but Heinekin canned it since they only want a venue that carries Heinekin Light, I'll probably be working on a 6-8 page spread on underground artists in other countries.

Thanks again cowdisease.

I cant wait for MAD Magazine. I should be starting that on July 17-August 25.
