What to wear for a job interview?

[Alexx..]

On Saturday I have a job interview at Currys, the man on the phone said it was a 15 minute casual interview so what do I wear to a casual interview?

Also, what is a casual interview aha?

[Eoin247]

Wear a shirt, jumper and jeans (not saggy). A casual interview is usualy just a chat, but nonetheless act your best :).

[Conservative,]

Smart-casual clothes (nice shirt & jeans), and yeah it's basically just a chat talking to you about you ;]

[Zak]

Yeah, I'd go with smart jeans and a shirt.

Nothing too major!

Wear a shirt with a loose fashion tie?
Then jeans. And nice shoes, not trainers really.
(Just remember, the shirt probably will not matter because you will have a uniform wouldn't you?)

Even if they say a casual interview, I have always found it beneficial to dress your absolute best. Doing that will show them you care about your appearance and that even though it is casual, you still intended on making a good effort and first impression.

More often than not, a casual interview is just a chat, during which they will speak to you, like a human being lol, and it is designed to make you feel comfortable and act yourself, rather than them telling you it is a formal interview, and then you go in acting all strange because of nerves lol.

So my advice is dress your best, and be yourself. First impressions are made in the first few seconds, so make sure you smile and stand tall!

Good luck to ya!

For a casual job interview in currys just do as i said in my first post. No need to wear a tuxedo however it's really up to you.

Who mentioned a Tuxedo? Dressing your absolute best doesn't mean going over the top. It means showing pride in your appearance and wear a smart outfit. I would say a shirt, trousers and shoes.

But everyone has their own style.

I agree with dressing your best. You want to be remembered for the right reasons, and first impressions count, so your appearance is very important. It shows you've made an effort and have pride in yourself. Good luck with the interview :)

This.
Don't wear jeans or anything, you have to be professional - casual or not.
Wear a smart outfit, a plain shirt and trousers.

cant go wrong with skirt and white top

I know this is an old thread but I don't know if you've sat the interview or not but if not; wear shirt and tie with black pants. I know he said it's a casual interview but you can't go wrong with a shirt and tie. When I asked on the forum and people said shirt and tie I didn't think it'be suitable but it works like a charm. My interview for my job was terrible. Could have gone a lot better. Over 400 other applicants and I got it. If you haven't sat it yet, good luck!
