Outgoing, energetic, creative person wanted - interview attire?

Posts: 433 Forumite
So the original job advert called for "outgoing, energetic, creative person". I have been selected for an interview, but now I think my usual black suit won't cut it. What would you wear in this situation?
Oh, I'm a woman btw.

Edward Scissorhands outfit!
No. I wouldn't overthink it. I don't think your attire will sway them too much either way.
Just go smart.0 -
If your black suit is a nice suit (a modern, flattering style that fits you well - as opposed to a cheap boxy looking thing) then it will probably be ok but I would wear a bright shirt/top with it and some funky accessories.Common sense?...There's nothing common about sense!0

Dress up with wearing a scarf as they seem very much 'in' at the moment - you can pick a number of quicky ones from pretty much any high street to jazz the suit up, you could also accessorize don't forget!
Just remembering my 'lucky interview top' : ) with alphabet numbers! - and I got more jobs wearing that then any other top, similar to this goes great with conventional black suit http://www.drcfashion.co.uk/tops/463-alphabet-top.html0 -
Ooh thanks all! So you think I should stick with the suit and accessorise?

I would say a suit but use the personality you have to show you have what they are looking for not dress like a paint explosion

As you're a lady you can most likely get away with showing a lot more flair than men can, so the suit and accessories suggestion ^ above isn't a bad one.
You could also do that but ditch the jacket and instead wear a waistcoat that isn't too formal looking if you have one.Oh, you wee bazza!0
