Harry255 79 Posted February 13, 2022 Report Share Posted February 13, 2022 Evening every one I’m due for a job interview at a kennel and have been invited out for a days hunting. How ever I haven’t been hunting for a while due to work and as such have no hunting attire left. My question is do you think it would be acceptable to turn up to what is in effect a job interview in a rat catcher as I don’t really have the current funds to spend on a whole new set off hunting attire Quote Link to post

If its a mounted interview then yes ratcatcher is fine, many people wear it all winter now. If on foot then smart jeans, check shirt and a tie is fine I'd say Quote Link to post
chartpolski 23,370 Posted February 14, 2022 Report Share Posted February 14, 2022 (edited) If it's just an interview, and not a "trade test" , just dress smart/casual. As for the days riding, either wear what you would normally wear or ask the prospective employer what the dress code is You wouldn't attend a job interview to be a mechanic in a boiler suit, would you ? Cheers. Edited February 14, 2022 by chartpolski Quote Link to post
Nicepix 5,650 Posted February 17, 2022 Report Share Posted February 17, 2022 It doesn't hurt to dress as they will be dressed. Tattershall shirt, moleskins or corduroy trousers, brogues, etc. Consider looking in charity shops for a cheap costume. Doesn't matter if it is worn as long as it is clean. When I used to drive round Nth. Yorkshire asking farmers for shooting permission that is how I dressed. First impressions count for a lot. If not, then as has been suggested; smart casual. 2 Quote Link to post
