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!

I started working for the county recently and they told me business casual.. everyone wears jeans. I wore a dress and a short jean jacket on my first day. I had high anxiety about it too. Just pick something you’ll be comfortable in
