Hi John,
You can't go wrong if you're wearing your "sincere suit". Last time I
needed one, the specs were:
- Navy-blue pinstripe suit (cuffs on pants)
- White shirt
- Burgundy tie
- Wingtips
Being about as observant as most guys, I probably wouldn't notice if
you're even wearing a watch--but for the style conscious, a Rolex would no
doubt impress. And anyway, as was discussed in an earlier thread, since
we're writers, we'd probably both spend the interview looking at each
other's shoes. ;)
Best of luck on your interview,
Chris
