I'm going to be doing a walkthrough at a local company and meeting with various Directors and Vice Presidents Of. It's not an interview per se. I'm not explicitly being offered a position in the organization. I was recommended as a soon-to-be graduate and things fell into place.
Do I need to wear a full suit?
Should I attempt to ingratiate myself or simply go in with the mindset of learning about the organization and industry and letting whatever impression I happen to make carry me forward? I just want to make sure I 'get something out of it.' To show up, walk around, hear some crap, and leave, never to be heard from again, would be a waste.
depends on what type of company it is. probably just wear khakis and a dress shirt and semi formal shoes, don't wear a 3 piece suit. Don't try to ingratiate yourself because it comes off as simpering and pathetic, but do try to subtlely steer the conversation. for example if it was a production engineer job you could mention equipment you've worked with or a related problem you solved in the past when they show you the factory floor, something like that that suggests competence. Don't just say your qualifications, if they want to know specific things, they'll ask

Keep your mouth shut and pay close attention. Don't ask any stupid ass questions.

They already have my resume. At least, I sent it to the person I know and then the walkthrough was arranged.
I just get so nervous about this stuff. It's hard for me to not think, "This will be my ONLY chance." And then I blow it by overthinking and missing an opportunity.

This partially, though I'd go suit and if overdressed come up with excuse why u were wearing it. Otherwise shirt with sleeves rolled up.
Unless! Factory and Shit and good chance CEO etc mossiey around in casual. Better to bee over dressed than underdressed
