In this weather do we needs to wear tie & suit for interview..?

[Darren_Test]

Put tie and jacket on when you get there. I'll assume they have aircon in the office, if not I wouldn't want to work there!

aircon..may be there in some Central London glass houses, but not sure in most of business parks outside London. Heaters will be there but aircon may not or I might not have noticed it..

[BlasterBates]

If this a business park, and a normal company, I would have thought you could be more relaxed. Would still put a tie on just before you go in though. You only need to put your jacket on when you're in reception, and the manager is coming down the stairs.

My missus collapsed on the street yesterday morning and I received a call from the paramedics as she was still inadequate, two hours later I had F2F interview, f...k it I said and went in jeans and short sleeve T-Shirt.

Interviewer was not bothered at all(however, I apologized for my appearance), it all went very well.

If it is a big company, posh office and more than 1 interviewer I always wear suit and tie, if they are small or/and it is 2nd-3rd interview I go smart casual.

At the end of the day, IMHO dress code matters only if you work for the zombie bunch in IB, Canary Wharf etc.

I wish your missus a speedy recovery.

That's a little mean.

I never wear a tie for interviews anyway, and as soon as they sit me down the jacket comes off too. Then if there' any coding to do the sleeves get rolled up.

Yesterday temperature reached 36+, in this weather do we need to wear tie and suit for interviews..?? Especially in central London where we need to travel on tube.

Anyone tried different dress code for interviews recently? How the client responded..?

thanks

No change for me - Suit, tie, top hat, long jacket and my walking stick together with briefcase.

[Gumbo Robot]

Always wear a suit and tie, top button done up, shoes polished. If you can't do your top button up, buy a new shirt.

Why take a chance on what may be your only chance to impress? It may not be important to you, but it may well be to the client.

Same here though I've had interviews at trendy graphics studios where I've not only felt overdressed but sensed a slight antipathy towards the square guy in the suit.

Budgie smugglers and polished shoes

This time 2 years ago when I was last looking was pretty warm. I had a couple of interviews but just wore shirt and tie (and rolled up my sleeves) with suit trousers.
