Q: Whenever I see fellow female students dressed for interviews they are wearing skirted suits, is this the way to go? I feel much more comfortable and pulled together in a pantsuit (no worries about runs in stockings, skirt riding up, etc.), but I don’t want to send the wrong message (whatever it might be).

I’m also quite tall and might tower over some interviewers — does that mean I should go for flats over heels — something that wouldn’t really be ‘possible’ in a skirt?
