Some of you guys may recall my previous thread on suit recommendations and a conference telephone interview with the big bosses at BMW (Software Development) for my industrial placement. Well after so much research and determination, they liked my attitude, so I'm meeting them tomorrow in Oxford. They said they wanted to meet me ensure that I like the working environment amongst other things.

However, my tutor said "Treat it as a second interview and be yourself, they obviously like you" he then carried on and he gave me an analogy of how people enjoy shopping from the web . . but there are certain things we'd rather buy in-store so we can feel the product.

I've got all my preparation done including a small portfolio of my best work.

I've just picked up my suit that I've had tailored and I've tried it on and boy does it look the business . . . bearing in my mind I've always avoided wearing one, it's not so bad! :D

Excuse the noisy pictures, lighting is fairly bad in my room.

Here's what I went for:

Can't really see the shirt but it's a very nice Next signature model short, it's like striped and it looks superb.

The shoes are rather gay, then again every suit type shoes I saw were gay imo, so my friends picked these out for me:

Also picked out this belt:

Just need to pick up some cuffs and I'm ready!

It's the biggest opportunity as of yet, I will be over the moon if I get it. If I don't, I've learnt so much and I've been offered a couple of interview over at some great companies. However, I'd like this job more than any that I've seen.

Wish me luck! :)
 
First of all, nice pics!
Second, the suit looks great, the only (personal) feeling I have is that the tie knot looks a little too 'Estate Agent wide boy', unless you can tie it a lot smaller of course.
 
That reminds me, I don't know how to tie a tie. What kind of knot should I go for? I'd appreciate any help as I've got the night to practice how to tie it :o
