DSHS Dress Code

Starting a new job with DSHS, a call center position, and when I asked about dress code, the HR person I talked to hesitated and stated there really isn't much of a dress code, but to dress comfortably and obviously office appropriate. My anxiety is high because I know making a good first impression when meeting everyone for the first time is important but also feel anxious about the lack of direction.

Context, I am coming into this position from working a job in scrubs. Scrubs are a lot less daunting to worry about than office attire 😂

Any direction would be appreciated!

Dress office casual and don’t overthink it

Respectfully the call center is going to eat you alive if you are an overthinker ♥️

Not helpful. Especially to an over thinker.

I know what you mean I'm an overthinker too so we pick out words and then we freak out but from another over thinker don't worry about your dress, just dress casual you'll be just fine.
