kento Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 Can someone give me some advice as to what to wear when going for an interview. I'm in the accounting profession, do you wear a suit or will a tie, long shirt & smart pants do?Kind regardsKento Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calibrated Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 really depends on the company. some prefer a more relaxed style in the office. others prefer to be as professional as possible. generally depends on how much contact they have with the general public.usually, wearing a suit, can make you appear to be trying too hard. 99% of the time. smart pants, shoes, and a collared long sleave shirt are more than suffice.

Stix Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 For an interview, I would recommend wearing a suit. Rather overdress than pitch up not wearing one and getting frowned upon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASydneysider Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 In Sydney it will definitely be a suit and tie with business shoes.SAS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zetman Posted February 24, 2009 Report Share Posted February 24, 2009 (edited) i would go with a suit and tie. i've participated in interview panels to recruit graduates for our firm and frankly i've never heard anybody judge a candidate as "trying too hard" because they dressed smart - i have however seen candidates dropped because they didn't look the part. play it safe, dress your best.
