    Just the obvious...be honest. If it's a background interview, you'll get asked some very direct, blunt questions & may feel embarrassed in the heat of the moment to answer the question truthfully. But if you don't, it'll bite ya later.

    Good luck.

    I just had mine on Friday morning. I wore a pair of black slack pants, a brown button up and a white tie. It was totally kick back and we had a few laughs and everything, only thing that sucks was when I sat down he goes. "Wow you wore a tie and shirt, dress all formal huh?" And started laughing "That will be a good one to tell the guys later on" Told me I should've dressed as comfortable as possible so I could be as comfortable as possible. Maybe that's just how it is here though?

    Its all part of the game. You dressed well. You did good.

    For our's we expect nothing less than the dockers and collared shirt. A shirt and tie is always safe though.

    Did see one guy show up in shorts and a tank top..........an easy drop.

    Good luck, liberty!!! Don't fiddle with your hands, put them flat on the chair or fold them. Be comfortable. Body language speaks a lot.

    For what it's worth, I like it when they wear suits or dress clothes. It just looks a lot better for an interview.
