What to wear to job interview?

You can always loosen/lose a tie. Better to be over-dressed than under-dressed.

It depends on the company/job. If it's a big company and you'll be meeting with commercial clients then a sport coat and/or tie may be appropriate to show them that you are able to present yourself well.

If you'll be wearing bags and swinging a hammer a lot then I'd say something like a polo shirt and khakis or good jeans would be more appropriate. It's hard to imagine someone as much of a tradesman in a suit and tie. You want to fit their image of what the person in that position should look like, if that makes any sense.

If it's a job site interview show up ready to rock n' roll...:thumbsup:

If it is an office and for a semi management job (PM) then go the coat and tie roll. You only have one shot at a first impression.

They might not remember your name but they will remember the coat & tie.:thumbsup:
