Indeed. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.

I think this reinforces my view that it is worth cultivating relationships with agents. In this case, the agent could have confirmed that you ain't no lady.Originally posted by cailin maith View PostMany moons ago - I was turned down for a job for wearing a trouser suit instead of a skirt suit.
The old bint who interviewed me actually told the agency that was the reason... it wasn't appropriate for ladies to wear trousers

And the parking of the 32 tonner in the car park might have been a bit of a giveaway.

not sure a tie is essential but otherwise def suited and booted, in fact cant help but see the kind of perms who were jeans or trainers with a suit or anything too funky as a bit feckless. they are most likely good at what they do but the impression they give off is 'clock watcher'sufficiently advanced stupidity is indistinguishable from malice - Asimov (sort of)

Suited and booted for an interview, and the first day unless told otherwise. I have been asked "not to dress like that because it scares the customers staff" before.
When in contract I gravitate to minimum smartness, that might be full garb, suit trousers & a shirt with no tie, jeans and a t shirt or my preferred attire of shorts & in the winter months sometimes a bathrobe.While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you.

Suit and tie for interviews for sure, but I think it's best to keep it 'understated'.
If you go in to an interview wearing cufflinks worth more than the permie hiring manager's car, it tends to get you off on the wrong foot
