What should I wear to a restaurant job interview as a high school student?

I'm interviewing for a part-time job at a local restaurant and am not sure about the dress code. As a high school student, I want to make a good impression. Any advice on the best attire for this kind of interview?

For restaurant job interviews, it's generally a good idea to look neat and professional, almost like you might on a regular workday. However, the level of formality can depend on the type of restaurant. If it's a fine dining establishment, go for business casual which includes slacks or khakis, a dress shirt or blouse, an open-collar or polo shirt, an optional tie or seasonal sport coat, a dress or skirt at knee-length or below, a knit shirt, sweater, or a tailored blazer.

If the restaurant is more casual, a nice pair of dark-washed jeans and a button-down shirt or blouse could work. Avoid overly casual attire like shorts, t-shirts, or flip-flops.

Regardless of the restaurant's level of formality, your overall appearance should be clean and presentable. Ensure your clothes are ironed and free from stains or tears. Your shoes should also be clean and not too worn out.

Remember that first impressions are important during an interview. The way you present yourself can demonstrate your attentiveness to detail and consideration for the business's atmosphere. Good luck with your interview!
