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!
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.
