onewheeldave Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 As an employer, I would say a suit and tie is mandatory for an interview for any position. You'd be wrong. For some jobs, wearing a suit and tie at interview would be frowned upon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabelle Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 To my last interview I wore trousers, a nice blouse and a suit jacket and heels, didn't wear much makeup because I wanted to be taken seriously. It must have worked, because I got the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vwkittie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 What about for women? What should a woman wear to a job interviews? I'd always wear a suit no matter what sort of position it was, if I were a bloke I'd definitely always wear a tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Looking smart indicates that you've made the effort and therefore want the job. Another person in a hoodie, jeans and trainers may very well be better at the job, but what would the interviewer think when they walked through the door?

It must have worked, because I got the job Ronald will let you have a go on his one wheeled bike next week and you get to keep the big floppy red shoes and squirty flower too.

Another person in a hoodie, jeans and trainers may very well be better at the job, but what would the interviewer think when they walked through the door? I asked because i have in the past sat in on interviews,and being suited up has not always got the person the job.Even though suited person has been an excellent candidate. I was thinking for myself a nice pair of trousers,with a similar suity jacket,and nice shirt,but no tie. I will be wearing the above now with a tie.I'm going with the forummers majority.

Nataliie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 I think you should either go, trousers, shirt and jacket or trousers, shirt and tie. I don't think you need a tie and jacket. Good luck anyway I'm sure you'll do great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jag82 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 For the positions that you have described I would go smart, but not ott. The interviewers should be more interested in you as a person than what you look like. Nobody wants a social worker to look like a banker. Come to think of it nobody wants anyone who looks remotely like a banker any more. They are not exactly the flavour of the month. Most social workers are considered to be 'Merchant Bankers' from my neck of the woods ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
