What should I be wearing for working?

[lindaL]

I got an offer from Rockwell Automation and the position is electrical engineering intern. I was wearing suit for the interview and wondering if I have to still wear suit for work.

ps. im a girl

[speedog]

Yupp, will be an interesting thread.

[D. Dub]

Ask the person who hired you?

[Tarrantula]

Business wear. Knee length skirts.

[KRyn]

Maybe if you posted some pictures of yourself in various out fits you believe are work place appropriate we here at beyond.ca could provide some quality feedback.

I think they will fire me if I wear like this to work :eek:

Show up the first day in some decent pants, and a button up.. If everyone tends to be wearing jeans/polo which is the case at most engineering firms, just dress accordingly.. Most likely people will laugh their asses off if your wearing a suit.

[Tarrantula]

My company has suit tuesdays... so they would commend you for coming in a suit.

[turbotrip]

do NOT wear a suit to work, girls can wear pretty much anything business casual to engineering work as long as ur not wearing lululemons, miniskirts, etc.

[FraserB]

Anything business casual. Dress up more on your first day so you see how everyone else is dressed. Even then I would dress a tiny bit more formal than the norm since you are an intern and new.

[ExtraSlow]

Buy only one outfit for your first day, then see what everyone else is wearing. Buy the rest of your clothes AFTER that day.
Good luck, enjoy your job.

You won't be fired in an engineering company for dressing like that, just that you'll have lots of nice co-workers offering to help you with everything, and I mean EVERYTHING

It brings everybody together! :thumbsup:

I find women in the corporate workplace tend to wear

blouses+tailored dress pants
short sleeved/sleevless dress shirts
summer dresses/dresses with cardigan
cardigan/dress shirt

Ehh, well that's what I usually see. But as recommended above, wear something that looks professional, but not overly dressy.

Good luck and congrats on your job.

Whatever.. you guys are fucked in the head. There's nothing wrong with that girl at all.

More likely, she wouldn't touch any of you keyboard warriors with a 10 foot pole wearing a hazmat suit.

Hang out near there at 5pm the day before and see what they wear when they come out. Or lunch time when they go for lunch. I've done this before.

She has no boobs.

Did not get erection/10

[Mamma_Mia]

If I was your employer and you asked me about the dress code, I would think very highly of you. Don't guess, be forward and ask, it will make your first day less stressful!

Congratulations on the new job! :)

I've done this before. this, or go back before the job starts and ask for a quick tour of the work area. Then you have a chance to see what everyone else is wearing. As to what to wear for that, I'm not sure lol.
