Option one is new clean work clothes
Option two is to dress up either dress shirt and dress pants or khakis or you can go all out and wear a suit.
Hugene and appearance are important. Shave, take a shower, wear deodorant and comb your hair.
One thing I forgot to add is silence your phone during the interview

I wore a suit and tie for my interview (also a food place) but I also brought workout clothes and shoes since I knew I was doing at DOT physical and physical agility test later that day, got the job part in due to the fact i wore a suit and tie, it'll help you more than hurt you.
when i get nervous i tend to talk real loud without realizing (i generally have a loud voice to begin with anyways) keep that in mind if you have a similar problem. good luck! -
Casual. Reinhart is kinda a stuck up company

Ha, when I "interviewed" for my curretn job, it went something like this. I got outta my car, got in his truck, we spoke for a bit sitting in his truck. After we hashed out all the details, he asks 'wanna go for lunch?'. Of course I said yes, so we went up the road to a local bar and drank ourselves silly, then called the mechanic to pick us up and take us home. I got the job, and yes it pays very well....DrtyDiesel and DealBreaker Thank this.

Pair a pressed chinos, suspenders. Zannaco shoes freshly polished and plenty of facial bling.

No need to overdress for a truck driving job. CLEAN jeans/dockers and a collar shirt are fine. Hide any tattoos/piercings, some workgloves close by in case you do a road test. Kinda' ackward pre-tripping in a suit with no gloves, right ?
aiwiron Thanks this. -
I'm a hiring manager and I personally don't see what clothing has to do with someone's job performance. I can tell you that over the years, it doesn't matter how well they dressed for the interview or how well they were able to B.S. the other hiring managers--they can STILL be lousy at their job. If it were up to me, I would make the dress code whatever the heck you wanted to wear...ha ha. I have to dress up for my job (desk job) and personally hate it since I am a jeans and t-shirt person.
The only issue is that unfortunately the vast majority of hiring managers put a lot of stock into appearances, and I've dealt with some pretty petty comments about how candidates were dressed for interviews. As I said, I look at the person's qualifications, what they are all about, and skills but some people still do make an issue of appearance. That is the main reason I suggested that the OP dress up for the interview.
I do fully agree with you that it shouldn't be a fashion show...Last edited: Nov 12, 2012

Comb your hair, brush your teeth and clean under your nails, cuz hygene is everyones issue
