For an interview for a Front/Back Office Medical Assistant position, do you were scrubs or interview clothes?
Discount Medical Scrubs
I'm a nursing student and I own a pair of scrubs. Will the doctor find it more impressive to be dressed professionally, or if I wear my scrubs?
Keep in mind, the doctor that will be interviewing me knows I'm coming straight from school and we ARE required to wear our scrubs in class for theory and clinical. So are the scrubs ok, or should I dress professional? PLEASE ONLY ANSWER IF YOU'VE WORKED IN A MEDICAL OFFICE OR HOSPITAL BEFORE.

You may only wear your scrubs if he knows you’re coming there from your "other" job. If you do not currently have a job in nursing and are only in school, than do NOT wear your scrubs. By etiquette it’s considered "TACKY".
Good luck to you and many blessings.

For an interview you must show the doctor you respect him and his decision to hire you. I think modestly professional. And always be two or three min. early no more or no less.

You should dress formally.

dress in professional attire………..scrubs are too casual for the interview portion

no. wear something very professional tho. a business suit? leave the "sexy" behind and dress modestly

It might be better to dress professionally in this case because you’re really not too sure how to dress. He/she would probably take to an office in the back and interview you.

Don’t wear scrubs! It will make a better impression if you dress professionally. Good Luck!

I think maybe dressing in the scurbs maybe overkill in saying, I know your going to hire, so look what I have. I think dressing professionally is a much better way to go, because you show them that you are professional even when not working. It is much easier to wear scrubs than something professional. have an awesome day!!!

I used to be in H.R., and now I am a business manager. I guarantee you that your interview will be more positive if you dress professionally. You should wear dress shoes (heels or flats), nylons, and a skirt and blouse (jacket optional) if you are female, and a shirt and tie (jacket optional), slacks, and dress shoes if you are male. Hygiene is also extremely important. Make sure that you are scrupulously clean and odor free (breath, body, etc.). Finally, it’s a good idea to use Purell on your hands before you get out of your car. The alcohol in it will help dry up any perspiration, so that you won’t have a sweaty handshake. Good luck with your job search!

I would dress in professional attire.
You don’t have the job yet… Good Luck..
If you want to wear your scrubs feel free too, but I wouldnt. I have an interview next week for Rehab Asst/Tech position and the lady whom I spoke too reminded me to dress professionally. I took this to mean that she didnt want me to dress casual or show in my scrubs.
