When I worked at Hollister, my manager would routinely refuse to interview anyone who came to the interview dressed in non-professional clothes, even if they dressed in the typical Hollister style.
Should I play it safe and dress professionally?
I say play it safe and dress professionally. There used to be this business show on I used to watch where people would look for investments from these business people, they'd have to do an interview and all that good stuff, I remember there was one guy who refused to take anyone seriously unless they were dressed professionally. I think being dressed professionally makes an impression that you're serious about what you do, no matter what that may be. I think it leaves a good imprint on a potential employers mind too, that's just my opinion :)
Something tells me it helps if you wear clothes with the name of a band you've never listened to written across them.
I've worked retail before, and managers refused to interview anyone wearing non-professional clothes. Even if you came in wearing clothes from the store, you were turned away without an interview. Do you think Hot Topic would do the same?
I was just making a joke about Hot Topic and many of the people who shop there. I have no idea what you should wear, but based on what you just said, sounds like you should wear a neat button up shirt and a calf length black dress, like a woman's suit dress.
Thanks for saying "many of the people" and not "all of the people". I buy band tees at Hot Topic, but only if I really love the band. And thanks for the advice.
Thanks for being an exception, gives me hope.
Honestly, I would say to dress in a way that fit with the style that Hot Topic has. You could play it safe and dress professionally if you wanted to. I think it's key to dress for the job that you want. When I interviewed at abercrombie, I dressed up in whatever what was in season at the time and I got the job while the other three girls that dressed up professionally did not get the job.
hot topic? dress like a vampire,don't forget the nerd glasses
