My fiancée is very concerned about what to wear to her interview (she doesnt know the date yet, our NOA2 was just approved) she doesn't know what the requisites are: business, casual, etc.

The main reason she is concerned is she lives in the province, and the stores there do not have anything decent as far as dresses go (I know from first hand knowledge...we shopped there for our pamanhikan) but she will have cash on hand when she gets to Manila to buy something nice...she just wants to know what is required to wear.

If anyone has any knowledge on this subject, please let us know...she tends to worry about things like this wink.gif

Thanks in advance!

I wore black slacks and blouse.Some of my fellow interviewees wore the same and others wore dresses. I guess as long that it's presentable she'll be okay.Besides, what is important is the interview itself:).

Business attire will do...like slacks and blouse. yes.gif

i wear jeans! lol... but of course with blouse and a coat/blazer/jacket on top so its still presentable and not over the top! she should dress in her comfort (im not saying wear a t-shirt) but what you think is respectable and presentable enough (as if going to a job interview)
it really helps to have a coat/blazer not only because its presentable but man its freaking cold in there! lol

Good luck! God bless!!!

I'd say it's not important really, just don't dress like a prostitute! laughing.gif

But seriously, it was cool in there and you have to sit around waiting a while, so I'd suggest wearing long sleeves and you might want to bring a sweater.

Let your fiancee wear something that will give the impression that she's there on business & she's serious about passing the interview. Confidence & preparation of documents & answers are absolute must!

I wore 3-piece suit hehehehhehe. A black slacks, white inner blouse and black blazer that even my daughter called me a lawyer laughing.gif but anyway, it does give the impression for the interviewees that you mean business, that I know for working as a recruitment specialist for 8 years yes.gif yes.gif yes.gif . however, if you are not comfortable with this kind of get up, you can simply wear black pants and a collared blouse. Its a smart casual attire and comfy too. goodluck!
