What should i wear to a call-centre job interview (nhs24)?

abbas5001

Hi all,

I don't have a stricly jobs-related question but I have a 'competancy-based interview tomorrow' for a part-time job with NHS 24 call centre. I'm not sure what to wear, i think a suit would be over the top but don't want to be too casual and look like an idiot. Any ideas? P.S. I'm a guy.

Thanks

Regardless of the position, you are applying for a job in an office / call centre environment, you should always dress to impress, it shows an element of pride. So I would recommend a suit, or smart trousers shirt and tie.

Good Luck

Definately suited and booted.

I've conducted many interviews as well as attended them. You can never go wrong with a smart suit, clean shoes and a tie.

Very best of luck

Suit or trousers & jacket.
You can always take a jacket/tie off, you can't put them on if you don't have them

Definitely a suit, or trousers, shirt and tie.

I've rejected a candidate before due to their scruffy clothes!

When I went for my interview to be a Seasonal Temp at Royal Mail last year I was sitting in a room with 70 people and I was the only one wearing a suit. I felt a right tit! :rotfl:Everyone else looked like they had just fallen out of bed!

In this case though, I would wear a suit!

Minimum of shirt and tie but to be honest I would wear the suit,

Do you prefer candidates that wear pink shoes too? :rolleyes:

Abbas, you probably heard this a hundred times already but it's always best to over-dress then under-dress.

Don't wear just a shirt and tie. That's silly and is likely to be noted unfavourably. And don't wear separate trousers and jacket, either. Wear a suit or you may as well just turn up in trackie bottoms and a hoody.

I might show SOME preference to someone in pink shoes... :rolleyes:

The person in question turned up for an interview in a suit (trousers and jacket), with a scruffy ripped tshirt underneath, and a pair of trainers! He did well at the interview, but was on a par with another guy, so the one who bothered to dress smartly got it.
