I have a big interview tomorrow at a dental office. I'm applying for the Office Coordinator position. I'd be in charge of patient interface and community outreach.

I have a big interview tomorrow at a dental office. I'm applying for the Office Coordinator position. I'd be in charge of patient interface and community outreach. Not only do I need your good juju as this could potentially be a great opportunity. I also need your advice!!

1) The HR rep is meeting me for coffee for the interview. He told me to dress casually because he will be working on some things at the construction sight that day and he will be dressed casually. WHAT SHOULD I WEAR? Slacks and a cardigan? Jeans and a sweater? I went on an interview once where they told me to dress casually and I was TOTALLY overdressed in slacks and a blouse so I'm stumped.

2) This location opens in April. I'm getting married in April. Do I bring this up now or later? The wedding day shouldn't be effected since it's on the weekend. I don't want to risk losing the position because I mention my week long honeymoon! Bring me your sage advice!

    Don't mention the wedding until an offer has been extended. I work in HR and if an employer really wants a candidate, pushing back the start date/making a special arrangement isn't that big of a deal. That said, as another poster stated, family discrimination is very real. They can't ask you about your personal life, but they can certainly hold it against you if you volunteer the info.

    Good luck!
