For my first ever work interview, should I wear a dress and high heels?

Society and rules change over time... My guess would be it depends on the type of job and the company... If you were here in California, and applying to The Irvine Company... in Orange County - yes, a dress and high heels. Look to the company, maybe ask what the protocol is there if you can find out.

I go to the Pelican Hill Resort in Newport Beach periodically and a Manager on the floor. -a young attractive girl - wore heels and a very prim and business like dress suit.

Look at the company and check out what the 'dress code' is. In ANY EVENT, I don't care what the 'dress code' is, you will NEVER be 'out of step with a dress and heel, and maybe 'hose' ?

A lot depends on the job, sensible shoes work best, high heels do not really work well. It’s best to dress smart casual but comfortable.

Now knowing what the interview is and your age group I would tend to agree with some of the other comments.

I would make sure you are comfortable, you look smart, presentable and tidy. I would personally wear a nice tailored shirt and a pair of tailored pants or knee length skirt.

Make sure this is something you wouldn’t wear out with friends but something you would wear to a family gathering or to say a nice dinner or church.

No to heals, what if your feet hurt, you stumble, etc. a kitten heel yes, ballet flats yes.

You could always ask them what the dress code is. If it’s formal then yes but if not then you don’t have to wear heels. Maybe the dress would be good enough if it’s somewhat formal. Business casual would be more of a nice dress shirt and dress pants.

A business skirt yes but not a micro mini. Dress much the same but little cleavage. Modest heels yes but not that high - 2-3" max. Not 6" stilettos.

Look feminine but not sexualized. You should look as though you can work in your interview outfit.

Good question. What kind of job are you going for?

You should dress for the type of job you're interviewing for. Example, if someone was interviewing for a construction job, they wouldn't wear a suit and tie. A nice pair of blue jeans and a button up shirt will do. Hope this helps.

Depends where you’re interview at. A skirt and a nice top or even sos is would be ok for most professional jobs. A dress might look a little too dressy. Although I suppose if it was a very prestigious job it couldn’t hurt to impress the interviewer.

Whatever you feel comfortable in and makes you happy you don't have to look sexy or anything like that you just need to be you always look into the person's eyes and tell them what an asset you are to their business

I depends on what the job is. Stilettos, never. Moderate heels to flats, pump type shoes, are always appropriate. I notice you said it's at a Dutch Bros coffee place, so I would go with slacks. nice top and some kind of jacket.
