Job interview thing?

Question

i'm going to a recruitment day with ODEON tomorrow morning, and I'm wondering what to wear...

i don't know whether to go in something like :

1) Pencil skirt , shirt, high heels

or

2) fitted jeans, shirts, high heels

i recently wore option one to a job interview with ryan air (i didn't get the job)

please help!

Answer 1

ive got an interview tomorrow and im wearing option 1 (but not really high heels)

Answer 2

Well if I was interviewing you, I would rather you wear option one than option two.

I say this because option 1 looks more professional.

Answer 3

I think you should wear option two.. some points though.

1] make sure your jeans are not ripped or torn and that they look clean cut and smart.

2] make sure you can walk confidently in heels and nothing too dressy obviously.

3] wear a smart shirt so that you don't look too casual.

=)

Answer 4

Dont wear high heels, shoes with a kitten heel would be fine, or even flats. just look neat, and smart minimal make-up, dont do to much with your hair, keep it simple. trousers and a shirt.

good luck!

Answer 5

High heels are a bit of a no no at job interviews.  I would wear low heels if you can and smart trousers instead of jeans.  Good luck!

Answer 6

Even though you're not going for a job in a corporate environment, jeans still have no place in an interview.

I would go with Option One.

You say you didn't get the job with Ryan Air - but it's unlikely that it solely came down to what you did or didn't wear!  If you do think that your outfit influenced the outcome, then why?  I am not meaning to be rude - remember I can't see you - I am just thinking of possible reasons.  Was your outfit clean (smelling, too!) and ironed nicely?  Was your skirt long enough - you don't want to appear S****y!  Ditto for your shirt ... was it too tight, or see-through?  Were your shoes cleaned and polished?  Was the heel not too high ... again, heels that are too high can be S****y.  What about colours ... sometimes bright colours don't do well in interviews.

EDIT:  I'm interested to see other's responses saying that high heels are a no-no!  They are not!  I am a recruiter and I view flats as being too casual.  Low heels are fine depending on your build - if you're a bit on the dumpy side they can make you appear even more so.  But high heels work for everyone.  Not too high because it can come off S****y if you're wearing seven-inch stilettos, and of course you need to be able to walk in them.  But a nice, smart, business-like high heel is good.

Answer 7

for any interview you should turn up smartly dressed. Depending on the interviewer, jeans are definitely not appropriate. A pencil skirt can seem too flirtatious especially if you are sitting down and it reveals too much thigh. High heels are also a no no if you cannot walk in them without looking as if you are about to fall over. Keep it neutral with a conservative air - not too casual and not too "night out". A smart shirt with tailored trousers are always good and medium heels suit most interview situations. You should feel comfortable and don't fuss with your clothes as you are talking - it will show you are not concentrating on the questions. Good luck

Answer 8

I'd go for smart  black trousers white shirt casual look  

Answer 9

Pencil skirt, shirt. low heels

Answer 10

Heels are a definite NO when going for an interview - especially for a job when you will be on your feet all day.

I am only 5ft myself.  In my opinion anyone who wears heals needs their head read.

Answer 11

Don't go with option 1 then. I would say wear smart black trousers and a nice top to go with it, then you can't go wrong really. Good luck! x

Answer 12

use the ryan air clothes again this time you will get your money back oo the old jokes are just great!
