My sister just got a job where they said business casual for the interview but then said “dress appropriately for business but you don’t have to wear a suit. She’s confused as to what she should be wearing. Any tips?

I interviewed for a position and was emailed about a time for a second interview. I replied back but have not heard back. How many business days should I wait to follow up with them about the unanswered email?

I have a national meeting to go to in a couple of weeks, and it’s listed as “business attire” for the first night, and then the rest of the week is business casual. The specified that all of the men had to wear a jacket (sport coat?) There aren’t a whole lot of women in my career, so they didn’t specify anything, and I’m not really sure what is acceptable. I would really appreciate suggestions, web pages with pictures, and possibly a comparison between business attire and business casual. Thanks

I have been working in a business setting doing office work for some time now. I am considering taking a part time retail job. I have an interview, but not sure what to take with me. The dress is business casual. Should I carry a portfolio, not pad or nothing at all?
