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

^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!…?
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.

Mrs G is away, so I'm off down the pubs. Beatle, I'll have one of those 20 Gallons I owe you…..G
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

came across this on SuFu and thought it would be a great thing to do to show a little bit of support and love to all the ones affected!
@CORTER:
**This weekend, like many other people, I watched as Japan survived one of the worst recorded earthquakes of all time- only to be torn apart by the tsunamis that followed.
Japan is special to a lot of us for one reason or another. Their quirky culture, technological innovation, and uncanny ability to perfect anything they get their hands on have always been inspiring to many people. For me, it was their leather workers- Japan took western, Americana-styled leather work, with its frills and studs and carved roses, and stripped it down to a sleek, relatable, modern design while keeping it's roots firmly in tact. Japan is the reason I do what I do today. I started Corter after lusting for a Redmoon wallet in college, studying the KC's website for hours to try and reverse engineer their designs. I scoured Japanese forums, crudely translated through Google, teaching myself how to sew and cut through these folks in Japan.
I wanted to help, wanted to give back more than a reblog or retweet. So for the next week or two, I'll be offering a special "For Japan" edition bracelet. Each one is $20, and 100% of the proceeds will go to the Red Cross towards relief efforts in Japan. The bracelet is a natural 9oz bracelet, with a hand painted red button to show support. Each comes in a nice cloth bag. Out of respect, there is no branding, no fancy packaging- just a reminder to help and remember.**
