honestly try it they won’t know what’s hit them

Someone may have already said this (haven’t read the thread) but if your mate who works there says full suit and tie then trust him

Full suit and smart shoes or dress trousers and tie.

You want to look like you’re making an effort to impress them but aren’t so formal that you couldn’t be creative.

This advise comes with the disclaimer that I’ve never interviewed for a creative job and have worn a tie and full suit for most of the interviews I’ve had in the last ten year.

full suit, but make your own tie. SMART and CREATIVE.
Ideas for tie would be made out of tin foil, but chocolate buttons stuck on. Then throughout the interview you can pick off a chocolate button and eat it while saying things like “hmmmm, that’s a great question Julie”

If someone who already works there recommended wearing a suit I don’t really understand the problem

Thanks all. I’ll go with the full shebang. It’s a fairly corporate environment so I won’t look out of place. If the general rule is a slight step up from everyday wear for the job, tie seems like a plan.

@Ruffers – he’s in finance, so a totally different part of the business, and definitely a more formal role.

I’m sure you’ll smash it anyway m9

Digital designer:

Smart trousers, smart shirt, smart shoes, casual jumper over the shirt. So they know you’re making an effort but you’re still resolutely dedicated to your personal brand of smart casual creative guy.

Realistically though no-one’s ever been turned down for a job for dressing well in the interview, but many have probably ballsed it by dressing like an idiot, so just play it safe and classy

or if you’ve got one of those mcgregor ‘fuck you’ pinstripe suits lying about go for that

I’d like to think this means he nipped into Marks and Spencers on the way to the interview, “tried on” a suit and then walked out in it.

Designy/art industry type jobs, I always try to dress like I run a gallery. So like dressed up, maybe mainly black, but not too businessy.

i get to interview quite a lot of folk for varying roles and i always pay attention to their outfit, but then who doesn’t?!
different roles different outfits innit.
someone in for a digital design role dressed shirt, trousers without tie would be just fine with me. i could probably even let trainers slide :slight_smile:
