"DEAR ABBY: Do you have advice for what to wear to a job interview when the interview is in an office, but the work is mostly going to be outdoors? I have gotten a callback for a job related to the research I did for my master's degree. It requires some physical activity in what could be harsh weather conditions."
"DRESSING FOR SUCCESS DEAR DRESSING: If it were me, I would wear slacks and a shirt, making sure they were clean and pressed, and sturdy shoes. It would show you know what would work in the field, but be tidy enough to make a good impression in the office. I do not think office attire would be appropriate for the interview, and this would be more practical."
"DEAR ABBY: I was with the same man for 36 years, but I divorced him three years ago because of his gambling problems. We came to this country 27 years ago, and ever since then I have been working and providing for us. He never paid any bills. He was very controlling and pretty much did whatever he pleased. I guess I was so busy trying to make a better life for our son, I didn't realize how bad it was."
A job candidate seeks guidance on interview attire for a position conducted largely outdoors despite the interview being in an office. The candidate prefers to show practical readiness for harsh weather and physical activity but worries about appearing disrespectful or defying office expectations. The recommended choice is clean, pressed slacks and a shirt paired with sturdy shoes, projecting both field-appropriate practicality and office-appropriate tidiness. The recommendation notes that full office attire would be inappropriate and that dressing practically demonstrates knowledge of job demands while maintaining a professional impression. A second letter recounts a difficult marriage, financial strain, breast cancer, and a fraught post-divorce reconnection.
