Suity for interviews

[SimonMac]

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

You can't polish a turd, but you can roll it in glitter.

Looks pretty but still stinks

Depends where you go.

I rarely see people in suits - but the other day we had some visitors

5 fat blokes in suits - they looked absolutely ridiculous!

A nice quality suit does make one feel better, especially if it's well fitted. Depends quite a bit on the physique underneath though - what kind of shape are you in?

I tend to get my suits from Hugo Boss, decent quality and they will do a certain amount of tailoring, leg, waist, sleeve etc.

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

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

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