There are plenty of scenarios for not wearing a suit to an interview. There are also caveats for wearing them, in some strange, outdated, office environments 😉
I’ve interviewed people for roles who haven’t worn them, and it doesn’t cause me any issue. If they were the best candidate for the role then that’s what matters.
I start a new job soon – I went along in jeans and hoodie for my interview. Everyone was suited and booted. There were a few others there, being interviewed for roles which they would report to me. One guy asked if I was there to clean the windows & turned his nose up about my lack of effort to ‘dress up’ into a pointless outfit, that has no bearing on my ability to actually do the role I was recruited for.
Can’t wait to see if he got the job 🙂
