Interview Attire
If you ‘look the part’ you will ‘feel the part’, outer confidence giving you inner confidence!
With a written exam no one will care what you wear, you can turn up as scruffy or tidy as you like and it will not affect your performance. However, when you attend an interview, people will be making judgements about you from the second you set foot within their organisation.
More and more companies are moving to casual attire or have a dress down day once a week, some even allow jeans on a Friday; but when attending interviews you should always dress ‘business smart’. You only get one chance to make an impression and you want that impression to be one of an employee who is immaculately dressed and takes pride in their personal appearance.
