I think people worry too much about how to dress for interviews. I once had an interview where everyone else was wearing a suit, smart shoes and a tie, I rocked up in smart trousers and shirt, but no tie, no jacket, in trainers. I was honestly surprised when I got that job, but it just goes to show that they were looking for substance, not style.

So basically that was the first job interview you went to aged 17 at B&Q?

:tongue_smilie:

Almost, yeah. I think I was 18 and it was a Pharmaceutical Distribution Warehouse!

Now I occasionally interview people for jobs! But when we are after, say, a delivery driver, his general manner/personality would be far more important than how he is dressed.

Oh of course, the dress code will obviously be role dependent but I got the impression Saraj is going for some kind of office job where having business appropriate dress code would be a good idea Smile
