I think, really well.
In fact, the second woman I talked to at my interview today told me she liked my outfit - and I was particularly happy with my interview outfit:
I have decided that I'm not going to wear a suit ever again to interviews for jobs that will never require me to wear a suit.
I had two interviews this week - Monday and Wednesday, both jobs that I would love to have. Which is truly awesome because Matt started work on Monday, and if I am going to get bored without him to entertain me all day - so I'd better get a job soon.
Also - I promise that my hair wasn't that flat and my sweater wasn't that bunchy when I was at the interview - but I had to wait for Matt to come home from work (and he has finished training and actually started his "lawyer-type work" that I don't care to understand what exactly he is doing, and he's starting to work later and later) for him to take the picture, and I got, um, disheveled.
Furthermore - do you think I should cut my hair shorter? Honest opinions.
Finally - I went to dinner last night with The Cat's Me'Ass. She is so awesome, and is going to post a picture of the two of us, looking vodka-drunk in the subway tunnels, sometime soon.

Love the outfit! I think a chin length (or maybe just a little bit longer) bob with bangs would be really cute.
Normally I would say, always wear a suit to an interview, even if you would never wear a suit to the job, but that's a pretty fantastic outfit and it passes my inspection anyway.
After I left you on Tues night it occured to me that your hair was MUCH shorter than I thought. Over time, you have chopped over half of it off. I think chin length could be REALLY cute on you.
I had a GREAT time the other night and I promise to get the picture ready by the end of the weekend at the latest... and post.
Marcia, you're outfit is absolutely adorable. I love it. You're hair would look awesome shorter.

When one has a super-cute outfit to wear such as you did, one does not need to wear a suit to impress at a job interview. Well-played, as GFY would say! Of course, I also say that as I sit working in my pajamas ;) But YOU should definitely show off your cute fashion sense! Good luck!!!
I think it's a smart idea to not wear a suit to an interview in which you won't wear a suit at your job. And you looked lovely as well.
I hope the interviews went well. I'm sure you'll get the job that's best suited for you.
And, I say don't cut your hair. But my opinion is biased because it takes me FOREVER to grow my hair out, so I always tell folks not to cut.
Oh, I remember what else I was going to tell you! I'm so glad that you're not the only one who makes people take pictures of you. I made Baloo take a picture of me on the first day of Grad school. And when I worked my first trial, I had one of the attorneys in the office take a picture of me too. I memorialize things in photos and I always feel like a dork asking for people to take my picture. But now I see that it's a normal thing and I'm not so much of a dork after all! (perhaps...)
Your outfit is super cute and totally passes muster for an interview in my opinion... As for the hair, while your current length is nice, I say that you need to give it a chop to (at the longest) above the shoulder. I mean this will be your first NYC winter, and they can be harsh, so you don't want to go too short, but I definitely think you've got a few inches to spare in the hair dept.
I think you're hair would look lovely maybe just an inch or two shorter, but then with some nice long layers cut in as well. You could probably rock a nice side-swept bang too.
Hope you hear back about the job soon!
I agree. I am against over-dressing for interviews as well. Basically, I hate making it so obvious that I am trying to impress them, and walking in dressed to the nines when no one else really is just makes one look a bit ridiculous, methinks.
You looked great! Good luck with the job search!
