interview- tie or no tie?

[snaw]

I think turning up without a tie says something about you as a candidate - namely that you that the company should eb grateful to employ you, or something along those lines.

A little humility goes a long way. Wear a tie for the interview, then store it till the next contract. Not like it's an effort to wear, and wearing it says nothing nothing negative about you, whereas not wearing one ...

No matter how good you are there's always a proper way to dress for the occasion. You cant go for an interview in shorts, can you?

If I were conducting the interview (And I have done a few) I would probably not mind a format shirt, triousers and shoes (wih no tie or jacket). But no way would I hire anyone that turns up in a sweatshirt, T shirt, jeans, sneakers etc. Not even if he were Einstein

I have. He had an hour to do the interview and was curretnly working in a warehouse. He wouldn't have had time to change and he didn't want to turn up at work in "posh" clothing. On the other hand, he was perfectly shaved, had a good haircut, clean fingernails and sat up straight. Sometimes you have to look past the obvious.

Nah. I don't to ties or suits.

If they ask I'll explain to them that I don't wear suits at work so I won't for an interview.

Same here - I'm not seeking a gig for my fashion sense but my experience and ability in the industry...

Suits and ties are for permies....

In the past, the best roles I've had have been ones where I did the interview in jeans.

Suit and tie unless told otherwise.

I worked once at a trendy advertising company (aweful aweful users! - yes even the nice to look at ones) where suits were 'banned'.

If in doubt ask the agent but it's always wise to overdress.

I go all out with cufflinks etc for interviews

Have you ever been tempted to do a Sharon Stone(Basic Instinct) during an interview?

You like the site of a hairy cock in a dress do you?

I like to choose relevant put-downs.

Are you still saving for the operation?

I've been interviewed by a chap in shorts... it was in Bath in 1990... hottest day of the year, 100 deg F.

I was almost passing out.
