          ^see mn: wear a dress shirt in any case and maybe rethink the jeans. Hard to write this, but job is conservative and serious business.

          What I wore for most of my job interviews: black suit (pinestripe) with turquoise shirt (+tie). Nothing I would even touch in my spare time, but you gotta bite the bullet.

            I'm more of the conservative type when it comes to interviews…both interviewing someone and interviewing for a job

            Shirt, trousers, tie/suit optional

            I use attire as a meterstick for common sense, and if you're going to interview with me, you better not be dressed casual. After I hire you, whatever, but for the interview, I expect a pressed shirt and trousers, and a tie

            I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                Better to be overdressed than the alternative.

                  Exactly

                  You never know who you're going to meet on an interview

                  Those who are more old school will expect shirt/tie/trousers, and those who are more new school…probably won't care too much (although if you're interviewing to be a bartender, a suit would probably turn them off)

                    ^well in this case i'm going to meet a more "newschool" kinda woman which is just a few years older as me and which sounded pretty cool on our first phone-interview so that's why i thought the jeans were a thumbs up!…?

                      Unless you're interviewing here, don't do jeans…..........

                          Some friends of mine are female, 27 and cool, but would send you back home, if you came in jeans.

                            I gotta say I stayed faithful to the tried and tested shirt and tie for an interview (social worker) here in France and never heard the end of it! I did get the job, and maybe in part because of the suit…the boss just took the piss relentlessly for the 3 years we worked together! It seems some jobs require a suit while others most definitely do not 🙂 At least I stood out from the crowd. I'd definitely don the suit to be on the safe side.

                                    You could always ask what the expected interview attire is.

                                    People interviewing at my company are told to wear casual clothes.  I wore jeans and my IHSH-08 to my interview.

                                      ^^ don't know if I'd wear the IHSH-08; don't want to scare them too much!  😉

                                        Off down the PUBS (plural), huh?  When the cat's away…

                                        I'm enjoying a nice glass of vino tinto and catching up on the forum in the bar at the Cardiff Marriott  🙂
