Interview attire -
I have an interview/meeting on Thursday with a partner from an executive search firm. This is my second encounter with this firm (first with this partner, but second for the position in question, and the first in-person.) The position in question is director-level.
The wrinkle is that we're meeting in a coffee shop. For 90 minutes.
What should I wear?
2 sources have said less formal dress - even (very) nice jeans, super crisp dress shirt, perhaps sport jacket. I don't think I can get my head around jeans, no matter how informal the setting.
wife is thinking light suit - but not matching suit/jacket. (So more like dress pants / sport jacket). I think I could do that - but I dislike having lighter pants than jacket. Just a weird preference thing I think.I
I know it's not really a thing to overdress for an interview but it does feel like it's a good opportunity to really read the room and show off some sartorial splendour.
For what it's worth, it'll be a little cooler on Thursday than the rest of this week.
Suggestions?
