Veterinary Receptionist - Interview Attire

I'm coming from a corporate environment and am trying to get a foot into
a veterinary receptionist/assistant position. Can anyone advise me as to the correct attire to wear for an upcoming interview in this position? Do I still stick to a business suit or would black pants, nice top and shoes be acceptable -I am a female. Thanks!

You can stick to a suit, but slacks and a nice blouse would also be acceptable. Veterinary receptionists can help to make or break the professional appearance of a veterinary facility, so showing that you take the job seriously by professional attire and attitude can really help you in an interview.

I have to disagree with Cindy. The rule of thumb for job inteviews is to dress as if you are ready to start work, or to be ONE step more dressed up than the job would require.
Since most veterinary receptionists wear a uniform of company shirt or scrub top and khaki-type pants, or scrubs both top and bottom, abusiness suit is WAAAAAY overdressing. IMO it would be likely to count against you since it gives the impression you don't understand what the job is like.
I can tell you that where I work, we recently interviewed several people for a front desk position, and the person who showed up in a skirt and heels had an instant black mark against her.

I agree Cimawr, I went on that interview in black pants, heels, and a nice work top and felt sooooo out of place. The other girls there for the interview came in jeans and a scrub top. Thanks, the next interview I go on will be way less dressed down!

It's really hit or miss on the attire part. I know when I interview people I like to see them dressed nicely. If they are in scrubs I like for them to not be wrinkled. It also depends on what kind of clinic your applying to. If it's a corporate clinic like VCA or Banfield, I would recommend slacks and a nice blouse. If it's your regular mom/pop clinic some nice scrubs would work too.

As a practice manager, I would suggest avoiding jeans or a scrub top. The front desk is the first impression of the hospital. Dress business casual, not a suit, and avoid high heels. Be more conservative but professional. I agree with Veronica that slacks and a nice blouse work, even at a mom/pop clinic.
