I've got a job interview this Saturday and I have no idea what to wear. Its at ryman which is very similar to whsmiths... anyone got any experience or ideas?
I suggest wearing something smart. Not a suit. When I had my job interview for waitrose, I wore black trousers, a smart looking black and white jumper and a pair of work shoes
trousers (grey/black), plain shirt (white/black grey) & a matching tie & black shoes
I was gonna wear smart shoes and trousers, shirt, tie and a grey zip hoody. Or a black cardigan instead of hoody
Black pants, white shirt, a nice tie of your choice and black polished shoes. As already mentioned some kind of smart and trendy cardigan/jacket as opposed to a blazer. Good luck!
Well when i had my interveiw at leicester City Football Club, I wore a shirt, trousers (black) (not trakkies or jeans) and shoes, because you want to make a good impresion on your interveiw, because it make the person who is interveiwing you think that your well prepared and that. You should also arrive at the interveiw early (not too early). Like say your interveiw was at 1.00pm, you should get there at like 12.45pm, because that makes you look like you won't be late for your job (if you get it :) ) so if you do all that, you mite get the job. Because thats what I did, and look at me now i'm working for Leicester City Football Club :D.
Good luck Jack!!
It depends on the job. Personally, for this one I'd wear a crisp white shirt, no tie, a plain cardigan and plain trousers (matching shoes).
I say this because, if you over dress you look silly. I assume they want to see how you'd fit in. Who wears a suit in a stationary/general store? Also, if you're underdressed it looks like you don't give a ****.
Might i add i've been to three job interviews wearing jeans, got all three.
@shockwave Lmao yeah I know, just dunno what to wear.. thinking trousers shirt tie and cardigan
@Casanova don't think Ill wear jeans. Probably will wear a tie but with top button undone. Don't plan on wearing a full suit because that's ridiculous like you said
only job i've ever had i think i wore jeans and a hoody lmao :l
Nah it always depends on the job. twice for a hair stylist, once for a sales job (and actually got it!?).
And wear a plain skinny tie. Not a giant grand-daddy one!!
LMAO. Yeah I was gonna wear a black skinny one, would be embarrassed leaving the house in one of the massive ones!
Depending on the job its not all about what you wear its how you act just act confident but not too over the top
I know but its the whole impression and what you look like is a big deal. Shows how bothered you are

i wore those Soul Cal 3 quarter pants along with my Soul Cal Grey Hoodie and trainers when I went for my interview at a Children's Soft Play Centre. And yes, I got the job.
What's the dress code for the store? If you don't know then trousers, shirt and tie as you said. You can't go far wrong with that.
first of all Dress smart casual; Does it require any uniform? shirt tie etc?
always be assertive; answer direct and if you don't know about something honesty is the best policy so just say no, no i don't
You don't have to take this advice because i'm only 15 and havn't had a job yet aha ;)
last time i had an interview i went in jeans, a tshirt and a shirt over the top
the tshirt had prawn star written on it and you could see it, yet i still got the job and others were turned down that looked smarter, so doesnt actaully matter that much how you look imo
thanks guys. +reps to those I can.
How was the interview if you've had it?Quote:

Fingers crossed that thats the case because that means that they "want it to be me" but it won't be if I mess something up lmao
2 hours is long, good luck for it and I hope you get the job! :)Quote:

on my first day, i did a 9 hour shift from 10am to 7pm as a trial. thats a kick in the teeth. im glad i got the job like.
Like other have said it'll be a group interview which I suppose isn't that bad just make sure you should yourself off and be a bit big headed and make yourself stand out from everybody else, ask questions as well to make yourself sound more interested in the job :)
i nailed my job interview the other week and got offered the job tuesday morning, i wore black school style trousers, shoes, casual shirt not tucked in.
had my interview and yeah it was a group interview. Wasn't nearly as bad as I thought and dare I say it, I enjoyed it. Really good job I wore what I wore. Trousers/shoes/shirt/tie/cardigan. Anything less and I would have been underdressed :). I find out if I got the job by Sunday.
wear a tuxedo :P
Well hope you got it :D
Something formal with a casual twist.
you dont wanna go looking like your off the matrix and you dont wanna go looking like your off Napoleon dynamite.
nuff said.
So do I!! :)Quote:
