interview?

Good morning. We usually get dressed up at the business level for interviews.
Angie wears dresses, and I wear suits. What is the typical dress level for a
houseparent interview?

Well though I really would not put this as much in the same catagory of
Business as the world see's it but we should approach an interview as House
Parents with dignity and pride as we recognize ourselves as Ministers under the
leadership of Christ . So I would most indeed wear a suit myself representing
the Kingdom of God.
My oppinion though some wear all kinds of stuff. need to be on a professional
level to a point

I have never been to a houseparent interview where a suit was needed and in
many cases if you do you will be dressing above virtually everybody but the top
executive. We showed up at our first interview dressed as I describe below and
we were even over dressed for the Executive Director. He was in jeans, t-shirt
and sneakers.
I would say that in 95% of all cases wearing the following would be totally
appropriate. Men/Boys: Nice collared shirt, khaki style slacks, casual dress
shoes. Women/Girls: Casual dress or nice slacks and a blouse or sweater. That
attire would be good for your initial introductions.
If you stay for more than a day, you will probably find yourself in jeans and a
t-shirt or casual collared shirt to match everybody else.
If you are in doubt, feel free to call Nancy and ask her, I am sure she would
not want you to feel out of place.

IMO, You do not want to over dress. You are going to an enviornment where there
are going to be children not business people. I have dressed dressy casual for
interviews at childrens homes. No jeans but not a Sunday morning dress. If you
are going to be around any of the kids for anyreason you do not want to be
overly consious of there fingers being dirty or what ever. You should look nice
and like you care but you are not going to an interview for bank president or
CEO of a company. Take into consideration the enviornmnet. Are you going to the
campus or are you going to a business office that makes a difference too.

Thanks for the advice. I have actually been to interviews, in other fields,
where I knew I was not hired, and sometimes even not interviwed, because I was
toooo over dressed. lol

I guess the bottom line is if God wants you some where then it will not matter
much about your dress for He see's our hearts not the apperance of man
