Business Casual for interview

Business casual for me (as far as an interview): a tie is a MUST. A suit jacket may/may not be required, but for the LOVE OF OF ATOT PLEASE WEAR YOUR TIE PLEEEEEAASSEEEEEEEEEE
 
From about.com: (http://wlb.monster.com/articles/newcode/)

Business dress for women means a suit or tailored dress in conservative colors (black, gray, beige) with low-heeled, closed toe pumps and conservative jewelry. For men, business dress means a conservative suit, not a sports coat, plus a long-sleeved shirt, tie and leather oxfords or loafers.

Business casual means a tie isn't necessary. Khakis with a long-sleeved shirt are popular. For women, it's a dress, skirt and blouse, or slacks and blouse with flat heels allowed.

Dress to impress. I think tie/no tie is relative to how you present yourself to your employer. It could go either way.
 
For interviews, wear a tie. Unless you are applying for any of the following:

1) CPU designer (in which case, don't even bathe)
2) Game engine designer (in which case, be sure your tatoos show)
3) Game level designer (in which case, make sure your piercings show)
4) Kernel developer (in which case, blow off the interview, email a sample of your latest Linux patches, show up for work next Monday and expect to sign a contract).

All others should wear a tie - which you can ALWAYS make slightly humourous remarks about if they (highly unlikely) razz you for it...you can always say your gf made you, for example, if it is obvious they think you are overdressed. "You know women..." said with a smile always works...

I always thought business casual meant NO TIE. In either case, I doubt this decision will affect whether you get the job or not...get some rest and focus on the interview.

whoa, r u sure about that.... if the company is a small shop, that 'you know women' may be okay, but i'd still rather not make these kinds of 'innocent stabs' with gender...

and definitely not in a publicly held corp. w/ a HR dept.
 
Business Casual normally means polo type shirt and khaki pants. Business Attire normally means dress shirt and tie.
 
Always wear a tie for an interview, no matter what. It's a stupid concept since in most cases you won't be wearing a suit and tie to work, but that's what they expect.
 
means no suit in the business world.

In the engineering world, business casual means no tie.

In the CompSci world, business casual means slacks and a polo shirt.

In the porno world, business causal means no clothes.
