    Are you serious ? I have an interview next week with one of the big banks, I was going for the full pin-stripe, cufflinks, windsor knot et al.

    Sounds like I might be better of in a ripped Nirvana t-shirt and my cleanest dirty jeans

      Don't bother showering or cleaning your teeth until then either
      Don't ask Beaker. He's just another muppet.

          I have a friend who used to work in marketing (successfully, he left because it was to stressful).

          He used to wear his tie at half mast, in fact not even that, the knot was almost at his belly. One day I asked him if he really thought that this was better than no tie at all. He honestly replied "yes".

            I'm in banking and I've always worn ties to interviews. We don't wear them day to day (it's business casual) but I've always worn them for the interviews. I've intrerviewed a few people myself as well and I think everybody I've interviewed has worn them except for the women.

              I spent three years working for Barclays and I always turned up in at least shirt trousers and a full windsor.

              May have changed since I worked there.
