[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, OP at 17:52. And thanks -[b] I have consulted at many Fed agencies and very few require a suit at the interview[/b] (in fact, at many, you will feel overdressed). It's just that the SEC strikes me as more formal, which is the reason for the question. Suit it is. Black.[/quote]

Whaaaat? this does not ring true. name some names OP. I work at a VERY casual agency but nobody would think to not wear a suit for an interview. It's not about "require."[/quote]

OP here. Census, DOL, Veteran's Affairs. FWIW most positions I have held (either as a consultant or a Fed) or for which I have conducted interviews are in IT shops. Developers can pretty much get away with anything that even vaguely resembles business attire. It just doesn't factor into the decision making process as much as knowing how to actually code most of the time. This does not happen to be a developer position, so I am putting a bit more thought into it and SEC just sounds like it would be more formal than the average gov't agency.

I wasn't asking if I could get away with wearing jeggings and a tunic, people...I was comparing a standard black/grey/navy suit to something like this: [url]http://www.cakestyle.com/content/what-to-wear/what-to-wear-to-a-job-interview/[/url] or like this (but w a black dress): [url]http://www.polyvore.com/m/set?.embedder=9208461&.svc=pinterest&id=109806287[/url].

Since I am assuming that most of you who have responded actually have experience w/ the SEC and represent the culture there, black suit it is!
