    How can anyone be ''not very keen on suits''?? :eek::rotfl:


    I wear my armani suits even when im just doing my mid week tescos shopping,
    so the idea of someone not wearing a suit to a job interview is juts ridiculous and absurd! :eek:

    Unless you work in PR Armani = Chavtastic.

    I wish people made as much effort in preparing for their interviews as they do worrying about what to wear!

    Well i have just been to my second interview of the week. I was a 1 to 1 and it went brilliantly. I wore a shirt and smart jeans and jumper granted trousers would have been better. As i was leaving i went to get my i.d which was being photocopied by other staff and there was someone in tracksuit bottoms! Another had brought their baby with them!

    How did it go BERFFRO, did you get the job?

    I remember years ago being invited for an interview expecting it to be a 1 to 1 or similar. Turned out to be a group thing which I'd never experienced before. There were about 30 of us, had to do loads of tests etc. I was there for about 3 hours, to the point my Dad came down to the gatehouse of the company looking for me wondering if I'd had an accident on the way there or home. All I could think about was how awful the whole experience was and wishing I was somewhere else. I should have just had the courage to get up and leave.

    I think it's wrong to dump that sort of arrangement on to you without any sort of warning.
