Default Re: Proper Job Interview attire

You're almost never overdressed for an interview in a suit & tie.

I'll go against the grain and say that it is possible to overdress for an interview, especially in some industries (specifically software). I interviewed for my current job in jeans and a t-shirt (I usually upgrade to a button-down shirt for interview days, but I came straight from my current job to the interview and I didn't want people there to get suspicious).

If I was interviewing a candidate that wore a full suit and tie, my initial impression would be that he's either a) trying to hard, or b) doesn't really understand the corporate culture for this industry.
