Get a kilt and go full Scotsman

I just wear a little black dress, fishnets, heels. It's all quite a sight to behold.

Does anyone wear ties for interviews anymore? can't remember the last clientco where ties were worn...

I wear suit and tie for interviews, but not worked on a site that I've then worn a tie during the role. My most recent role that required a suit was when I was based in the Lloyd's of London building about 5 years ago. The last time I wore a tie at work was back in 2004.

I need a new suity for interviews,
Does a quality suity (expensive) make much difference
Anyone got Ideas about this

It's good to be regular, and having a big dump before an interview is essential. High quality suity is definitely recommended....

1st impressions still count,

in a face to face interview you're selling yourself just as much as your skillset,

if you look professional and well presented people will have a positive first impression you can of course go downhill from there and it's easier then climbing uphill for the rest of the interview

for every client i've had i'm always suited and booted inc tie not just for interview but even for the duration of the contract

i guess its role dependent but as PM i think the professional look helps in interacting with other parts of the organisation

i never go too high end with the suits though, save the Hugo Boss for outside of work, but a dark coloured River Island / Zara 2 piece usually represents good value for money

I just finished reading a book on this whole topic, quite an interesting read. Particularly interesting about how different patterns enhance certain elements of your body so if you want to look broader in the shoulder and have a good "V" shape torso then vertical lines are not your friend. Similarly if you have more of an avocado pear type thing going on then other patterns (eg checks) should be avoided.

The Mrs got a colour analysis done a while ago and I'm thinking of getting it done myself now I'm getting rid of my younger clothes and investing in a more refined wardrobe with fewer choice items. Without becoming a preening metrosexual of course.....

There is a lot to be said for dressing intentionally to command respect, there are few bits to get right apart from just fit.

Sorry but Hugo Boss is not high end. Anyway, regardless of where you get it from just make sure it fits you.

you obviously haven't seen my tackle in those tightly fitting trousers

[woohoo]

Just wear a "I Love McDonalds" red badge and I'm sure they will give you a position making fries.
