Job interview, question..

I would personally wear a suit, but not worry about the jacket. It's always best to look smart for an interview, no matter what job it is. If you look good, you feel good, and it shows.

Are you somehow implying that I'm a Goth solely on the basis of my username? If that's the case, then I'm afraid you are sadly mistaken there!

Hence the catch-all winking caveat.

Never saw the winky, and I even quoted the bloody thing.

What job are you going for?

If its just as a sales assistant I wouldn't bother with a suit. To be honest I'm not sure they would even care how smart you are, just as long as you look clean and presentable and have the ability to talk to customers.

Suits for jobs like this are way over the top, shirt and trousers, tie if you really feel you need to.

Suit

Me and few others were in suit too so I didnt feel overdressed felt like I fitted in if anything.

And I think it went well I wasnt really nervous at all when i got there.. direct eye contact etc

but loads of people attended, probably with better experiance than me so I got a feeling I wont get it.

Shall find out next week anyhow

Thanks for replys

I bet when they saw you in a suit they didn't know when to stop laughing.
