I'm also so confused bc I'd prefer to just get a bunch of dresses for this and in the dress code section it doesn't say anything about dresses so I sent a quick text to the guy who hired me and asked if dresses were okay and got a thumbs up so like okay I guess

a greeter for a high end store, it's a pop up shop though and they're having a third party do all the hiring

Interesting! I imagine they’re picky about wardrobe because you’re the face of the brand there. But your best guess from your current closet might do fine. Unless the product/company is a totally different aesthetic

I don’t have experience in that area exactly, but my impression of that kind of job is that they expect it to be learnable really quickly, even if it sounds like a lot. As a ND person, your mileage may vary. But you might also find that it is the kind of job where it’s totally normal and possible to succeed without just a brief orientation.

I mean they might be expecting ALL the employees to wing it and aren’t actually that worried about you

yeah I'm used to customer facing jobs so like the actual job part is what I'm least worried about lol I went thrifting and found some neutral black dresses so I hope those work and I guess once we start working I can just compare to other people and see if I need to tweak it at all but yeah hopefully their expectations are low lol

Sounds like a good approach! You might learn more from the other greeters than you do from the mystery thumbs up supervisor
