ARRRGGHH... that's so tough! I don't mind dressing down for WORK (esp since if it's a casual office, I can ride to work a often), but I don't feel right dressing down for interviews.. it's just weird! It's that whole first impression thing!

Can you wear a pantsuit with a collared shirt? Carry the jacket in, once you get there, decide if you wanna put the jacket on.

Yeah, I could do that. And one I have actually looks really cute without the jacket anyway; I could just do that blouse and trousers and forego the jacket. (arrrgh... those trousers are SOO big on me right now though... I really need to have them taken in, but there's no way my alterations chick can get them done that fast... Oh well, I'll figure it out...)

for the interview: slacks, blouse (no exposed tatas) and comfy shoes (no high heels).

About the salary: offer him to start for x amount, and if you are able to do the job w/o help you want a raise to $xx in 3 month (needs to be in the contract of course). He'd be stupid if he does not go for it.

Yeah, that's not a bad idea... I like that...

Toss the jacket on the desk when you go in. If the interview goes badly, you can always use it to swipe a stapler or some fancy paperweight off the desk on your way out.

I think you need to start posting pics of you in your interview/work attire.

I do have really kick ass shoes... With dress pants, they're power shoes... without dress pants, they're FMP's.

Wear a bikini, it'll show that you're ultra casual and extremely comfortable with yourself and your surroundings.

Tell them you'll work for $10,000 less than the lowest bidder, that will almost guarantee you a position.
