I have an interview tomorrow at 9am and stupidly i have only just realised i have a suit but no tie, am i screwed?
Job interview
- Thread starter Bassmansam
- Start date
What's the interview for exactly?
A lot of places are more casual now so you don't need to go into an interview dolled up to the nines, but it can be dependent on the sector and role you're interviewing for. My last couple of interviews I literally just wore some black pants and a smart shirt, and I got the jobs.
At worst don't you have any family or friends you could just borrow a tie from?

MIS admin, yes checking with someone if incan borrow one tomorrow but if he doesn’t answer..
I think you'll probably be fine, depending on your suit it might be an idea to forgo the jacket if you can't get your hands on a tie.
I'd not worry yourself too much over it, you'll still be well dressed so focus on presenting yourself well and try to relax.

I don't even own a tie, it hasn't held me back.

Assless chaps and Cuban heels with goldfish in them.
Don't know where your location is but plenty of shops are open at 8am - just get in a bit earlier and buy a tie.
For example - is it a city centre location? Is there an M&S? go on the M&S website and check store opening times... check whether that M&S sells clothing.
An additional check - check actual ties on the M&S website - check availability of specific ties at the store near the office etc.. select tie... wander in tomorrow and pick it up.
Alternatively check TM Lewin, CS etc..etc..

Dangle a pair of socks from under the collar. They will never notice the difference. That or toilet roll dipped in paint or coloured in with felt tips. You could even draw a tie directly on to your shirt.

Fashion a tea towel into a cravat.
Isn't this the reason they have a Tie Rack at the big train stations?
Genius!

Barter with someone on the train.

Pretty sure you don't need a tie to say ' Do you want fries with that ? ' , you'll be fine

Yes
You need to find a neutral colour shirt and fashion yourself a tie from said shirt so you're no longer screwed
Then in your interview mention how you solved your problem of lacking a tie by crafting a tie, it will impress as it shows your ability to solve problems

I stopped wearing ties and suits to interviews 8 years ago. 8 years later I had an interview and just wore shirt, waistcoat and trousers and got the job. As long as you don't look unpresentable, you will simply be judged on your role credentials, paper or experience.
