    I had an interview for an audit clerk position last week and got called back for a second interview. To the first interview I wore a suit but I only have one. Should I wear the same suit or just wear business casual? I know I should have more than one suit but I can’t afford it, hence me looking for a job.

    I agree, better to be over dressed than under dressed. Sometimes you can add a scarf and boom! It looks like a whole new outfit. But if you're a guy, changing up your shirt/tie has the same effect. And they probably interviewed several candidates, most likely won't remember exactly what you were wearing. Good luck!

    As long as you aren't rocking a “Dumb and Dumber” style, bright orange tuxedo, they won't remember what you were wearing. Just make sure it's freshly dry cleaned ๐Ÿ™‚ Good luck!
