It's for Gamestation i've noticed they don't really wear to smart gear in there it's just everyday stuff.

Guy on the phone said just dress smart & casual would this mean pub gear? Jeans, nice top and possibly smart trainers?

How much do you want the job?
That's how much effort to put into the clothes you wear.

daz.wallace · 13 May 2008 at 12:44

I would wear shirt, trousers and shoes but no tie

N9ne · 13 May 2008 at 12:44

Go in there looking like you want to be the manager

Visage · 13 May 2008 at 12:45

No one ever failed at an interview for being too smart.

jas72 · 13 May 2008 at 12:45

I'd always wear a shirt and tie and a suit to an interview.

Shows a basic respect even if it's not obligatory.

Never went for a job in a games store though.

I did this too and now i am working there and the dress code is casual basically what ever you like, no harm in being smartly dressed.

i would go in a suit, failing that a smart pair of pants, shirt & tie

i went to a interview once for a trainee web development job!

i turned up in a suit etc and everyone else was dressed casual. jeans and t-shirt. i felt like a right plum, but the first thing they said was it was nice to see someone making an effort

Your working in Gamestation? What came up on the interview other than the general retail questions?

Welshy · 13 May 2008 at 13:17

Stick on a shirt and tie, no need to go the whole hog and wear a suit imo.

davethe11 · 13 May 2008 at 13:40

go as smart as you can.

Col_M · 13 May 2008 at 14:20

The thing is if you dress in a suit and all the other applicants dress casually then it's a reason for you to stand out in the interviewers mind. Every little advantage counts.

West · 13 May 2008 at 14:35

I had an interview not to long ago... I wore a suit.. no one else did.

Guess who got the job?

-Ad- · 13 May 2008 at 14:59

Reebok classics and addidas track pants along with a GTA4 t-shirt

Definately shirt and trousers minimum, but tie if you want to as it's a hot day and no need to go the full hog !

rodo · 13 May 2008 at 16:47

Smart casual (Smart trousers and shirt, no tie) always work for me. Never had an interview where they haven't paid off. Interview is best place to be over dressed

.Kencs · 13 May 2008 at 17:10

Go in wearing a Tuxido and bow tie,.......would be funny to see lol, oh, not to forget a top hat....show proper dedication to getting a job

Sime · 13 May 2008 at 20:43

Had an interview yesterday. Got a phone call today saying I have the job...

I was wearing a blue shirt, black trousers and shoes...

Thats it... Casual Smart f.t.w.

By the same logic, dress as a strawberry, I can tell you for certain that nobody else will be dressed similarly.
