Interview - What To Wear?!?

[*The*Field*Marshall* 674]

OK ladies and gents - So I've got a managerial interview tomorrow for a care company

 

Divided on what to wear, some say trousers and shirt, I like the sound of this because I feel more comfortable.

 

Others are saying no, suit and tie! And I understand why.

 

What's the general consensus. Smart/Casual and comfortable or aim to impress with a whistle and flute ?

 

Thanks in advance

Whistle. Definitely.

A standard suit, nothing fancy like your purple velvet one. Always shows you've made the effort and you are keen for the post.

If it's for proper managerial, wear a suit ............................. and watch those TV adverts full of useful interview tips, by spotty dumb-ass retard teenagers (you know the ones?)

Forgot to say - good luck with the interview whatever you decide to wear.

Senior/Managerial positions I'd play it safe with a suit.

 

Summer interviews are good because I feel you can justifiably leave the jacket behind but in the winter there's not really that excuse. Realistically I think a classy good quality shirt, tie and shoes coupled with a sharp discerning haircut will display all the professionalism that a suit does but it's best to play safe.

Don't forget clean undies and a hanky.

If you've got a suitable suite, wear it, some don't.....so shirt & trousers is next best thing....

Suite ? Should he just wear the settee, or go with the armchair too ?

 

(Sorry mate - couldn't resist ! )

And whether you go with the jacket or not, definitely wear a tie!

For a managerial position it has to be a smart suit clean shoes and a well groomed appearance ... First impressions last forever ... people make an instant judgement within the first three seconds of meeting somebody for the first time so why risk loosing a job over not dressing smartly enough .......
