MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
I have a job interview next week and can't decide on appropriate attire. I currently work in media, so jeans and shirt are the order of the day; when I have to smarten it up (client presentations, industry conferences etc) I'll go to jacket and jeans.
I'm interviewing at a PR firm, and it's a long ol' journey to get there (c5hrs), so I'm leaning towards jacket and jeans, just to avoid wearing a sweaty crumpled suit. But the OH is saying that's unacceptable.
What's the consensus?
If in doubt surely better to be over presented than under?
Definitely suit. Hang your jacket up.

Suit, doesn't matter what you wear during work hours IMO.
Had an interview, where the agency specifically told the interviewee's (group call) that a suit 'had' to be worn.. I was a confused that it had to be said.
PS though you don't have to wear it on the way there if your driving... though don't do what my brother did & take the jacket/shirt and forget the trousers.. though he did get the job, even with ripped dirty jeans.
Jacket and jeans
Double denim?
Double denim ftw
Lolz, sniped by 24 seconds!
Suit. Once you get through the door you will know what to dress down to.
Can you go in mufti and change just before the interview to save the crumpled sweaty suit scenario ?
Double denim ?
For losers !

Suit. Travel in whatever's comfy, have a McCoffee, McShit and McChange near the venue.

That. I start a new job a week on Monday, wore a suit for the interviews and everyone I saw was smart casual, but I'm still going to wear a suit on day one, until I know the lay of the land.

most blokes in media look like tramps 😉 but definitely a suit for the interview.
Once you get the job you can check out the identikit jeans and white shirt uniform that everyone wears.

Planning a short interview then?
hahaaa! Nice, thanks everyone.
Point taken, I'll dig out the suit and see if I can still get the zip up the trousers.
And for the jacket and jeans haters, I used to be adamant that I would *never* wear any combination thereof. Unfortunately in internet-based stuff, you get weird looks turning up in a suit to meetings, so I had to just accept it. The self-loathing only occasionally surfaces though, so that's good
Nice try, this entire forum is made up of IT bods.
Suit, cotton shirt, silk tie plus a serious pair of English shoes. Rubber shoes on a suit make you look like a pox doctor's clerk.
I've been told that it's best to turn up to an interview 'one step up' from what ever the office dress code is.
You could always try what I've just been told is called 'business casual', essentially a suit with shirt but no tie, apparently the Americans are big on this.
You are Mr Jobs, and I claim my £5. 😉

If your dig out doesn't "suit you Sir" you could try below - all the best whatever you choose to wear!

Better to be too smart than not smart enough.
Top hat and tails.
Always a smart suit for an interview. White or light blue shirt too. Also pick tie colour carefully. I'd go for royal blue or purple - as they are generally perceived as giving the impression of loyalty and trust. Avoid power colours like red and orange.
