Decided to go for it, and accepted 2 interviews for Thurs...

One is for a well known router company (sounds really exciting) It is a bit more technical, but they offer full training etc and it could be an excellent chance to get a bit more "specialised"...

The other sounds like it would be on the other end of the scale - quite basic to start with, but again a great company and more specialist areas to go into...

Going to both of these will be a fantastic experience whatever happens, as they are both such different companies to my current one!!

I'm really nervous ...going to research as much on the companies / extra skills required as poss...do you think a suit is a must?? Would really smart trousers and shirt do??

I have always been told, to wear what you would on the job and always have. If it was a factory job on the floor I wore jeans, office I wore slacks. Don't go with a skirt. You don't need to worry about sitting proper while interviewing too. Good luck hun. I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya.

 

Way to go! I wish you the best.
As for clothing, I think you should wear a nice looking, crisp outfit, but, one in where you still feel comfortable. If I for instance have to wear a tie, I start sweating like mad. Not looking confident.

 

I usually dress one level up from what I would wear on the job. If I were expected to wear a shirt and tie daily, I'd wear a suit on the interview. If I were expected to wear a collar shirt but no tie every day, I'd wear a shirt and tie for the interview. Since I can wear T-shirts and shorts around the office, I interviewed wearing a collar shirt but no tie... it helped that I already knew the people interviewing me, though! ;)

 

Fixed.

They could end up paying you by the table...

 

Heh!...


Hmmmmmm....:hhhmmm

 

Thank you for the advice + good wishes - will go for a really smart pair of trousers and a nice shirt, as it is so much more comfortable!!

 

Good luck for thursday (on both).

 

oh no, not even close to being girl talk. Girl talk would get the 3 of us banned.

 

Best of luck

Just dont were big girl undies as the lining always show through especially on trouser suits, not that I look at girls bums honest

 

All the best of CF luck, Leehaa - go for it !!

I agree, go smart - any positions I interviewed for, I was looking for at least business casual, or suit. Anything less suggested to me that the applicant wasn't interested in making an impression on their potential employer (aka me). I would consider the person that had made the effort on appearance if it came to a tie on ability between two applicants.

IMHO

 

Good luck Lee.. also i would go with conservative colours, dark grey, black etc looks more business like than reds and lighter colours.. more practical too.
