    Don't forget your fingernails. They need to be clean and in nice condition. You'd be amazed how many people forget them!

    Good luck with the interview and do not overdo the aftershave etc as you have got used to it and do not smell the stuff the same way as others do - it can be overpowering.

    Try to relax and concentrate on listening to the qusetions rather than rushing in through nerves etc.

    Some useful tips so thank-you to everyone who has posted.

    Thanks for such a comprehensive post Johnhowell, and congrats on the success also. :beer:
  • Usual advice I;d give for Interview dress - 2 steps more formal than the company.

    If they are a shirt and tie, wear a suit. If they are Suit, wear shiny (army shiny) shoes and a waistcoat.

    I have 2 suits, one is George Dunn & Co (Tailored), for Interviews, and the other is George at Asda, off the peg, for work!

    Great thread! I had an interview today, just got back in fact, and read these comments this morning - was going to go smart with nice top and black trousers, but after reading this decided on the suit option! Have yet to hear whether it had the desired effect!
  • Good luck, hope you get/got the job :T :T :T

    don't forget to check for hair erm in your ears/nose :eek: :p

    Thanks very much Scrooge - I did get the job, yay :T
    It'll be my first after a year out of work (travelling :o ) so I'm dead excited.
    So its clear that the suit provided the needed magic!
