Do I wear a suit ?

hello2007

I have had a mad week of interviews and have my fourth one tomorrow. The interview confirmation email say that I can wear what I want but I still think it is better to wear a suit.

What do you guys think ?

easy

why wouldn't you?

Id wear 1 but in this heat id consider a shirt and tie and maybe a jumper(if not too hot). If the others who are also being interviewed turn up in t's, shorts and flippy flops and you wear a suit or a shirt and tie you would stand out more would you not.

I am a female so I will not be wearing a shirt and tie. I was going to wear a smart business wear dress with a suit jacket.

The email said that they are a casual bunch and I can wear what I want.

No all the interviews that I go to I wear business wear and I do not usually apply for admin role.

I was just wondering because the email said that you could dress down.

Have you thought that this maybe a way of checking if you follow instructions??
Also the interview might have you doing some kind of activities which a suit might not be suitable for.

Do you know anyone who works there that you could pick their brains about it?

But they still might be looking for the one who comes dressed smartly.

I would either wear a suit, or, if it's too hot, a skirt and blouse.

Dress for business. You don't get a second chance to make a first impression.
