Hey guys,

I've got an interview tomorrow for a PR firm working on the Home Entertainment department.

Anyway, I had an internship at the same company for a month and I'm pretty sure the majority of people will recognize me.

The office is very informal and laid back, people wear trainers and jeans etc.

Anyway, I got this e-mail:

Hi

We are recruiting for an admin assistant on the home entertainment team. This is an entry level role but involves working on Warner Bros DVDs and Universal Pictures.
I head up a team of four and have heard good things about you from xxxxx
Would you like to send me your CV?

Thanks

So I sent in my CV and have been asked to come in on the 6th. (not stating it was an interview) I replied asking if she wants anything me to bring along / be prepared with.

The reason I ask is because if the meeting consists of a formal interview, I would like to dress and plan accordingly.

To which they replied:

It is absolutely a formal interview but as you know with Premier it is a laid back culture too!

So, here's the question...taking into consideration I already worked there for a month and they approached me for the position / people there already recognise me, would you were a suit?

I was thinking of wearing suit trousers, shoes, a shirt and a very smart jacket. Would that be okay or do you think I should wear a full suit to be safe?

I honestly think people look like weirdo's when they were suits to job interviews, if it were for a big corporate office type job then yes but.... :rolleyes:

I've always got away with a smart shirt, smart black trousers and smart shoes.

Big corporate office type job? That's what this is, it's just an entry position though (which is understandable considering I've just graduated / am 21)
 
There's absolutely no way I'm turning up in jeans and trainers :p

The wearing a jumper over a shirt and tie combo is a very good suggestion actually!

That is not a "very smart jacket".

For that kind of job, I'd probably go for a suit but sans tie.

I'm not going to get into an argument with regards to what a smart jacket is on here. Going by some of the fashion thread on OCUK it's just not worth my time.

Suit everytime.

Do not go in a camp looking £142 coat.

The jacket is not camp. All Saints are one of the most 'current' fashion brands out there at the moment. Like I say, from my experience of 'fashion' on these boards I'm not going to even contemplate listening to your opinion on if you think I should wear my 'camp' coat.

No, THAT jacket is camp.

Stop derailing your own thread.

WEAR A FLIPPING SUIT.

Something wrong with your caps button? I probably will end up wearing a suit, but whilst there's no right or wrong with fashion, the jacket is anything but camp. It's current and fashionable.

Why ask for advice then?

Because asking if I should wear a suit to an interview is completely different to asking if someone likes my coat. I couldn't care less if he if he approves of my coat because as I say fashion is subjective. Saying that, I'm pretty confident that he has no idea what fashion is if he labels my coat as 'camp'

Have you even heard of All Saints?

As you have said in your other thread you can be a bit of an arse on here sometimes, your last 3 posts are arsey :)

Hardly, I'm arguing that the jacket isn't camp, he's arguing otherwise.

Like I say, I don't care about his opinion on the coat, it has already been mentioned that I'm there to look professional, not fashionable....which is why I asked if people felt if a suit was necessary, I don't really see why the coat is a talking point.
