Applied for a job last week and had an email back from the employer asking if i would "come along to the office for a chat" regarding the position.

Now, "come along to the office for a chat" would you understand that as a formal interview, or an informal chat about the job advertised?

Should I go along in a suit, shirt and tie, or would jeans, shoes and a shirt be more appropriate?

Dont want to look un-interested by not dressing up, however dont want to look over-keen in the suit.

What you rekon? The job is for a Graphic Designer btw, if that makes any odds.

Cheers.

 

ALWAYS a suit for the first impression - they're not gonna turn you down for over dressing.

 

Always smart IMO.
I was a cert for job I have now, yet went in shirt and tie, interviewer was in work greens and hi-vis but there you go lol.
Got to make a good impression, will be first impression too, may not seem too bothered if in jeans and t-shirt?

 

Always better to be overdressed than underdressed. I'd wear a suit, mate.

 

Deffo wear a suit mate.

Good luck pal

 

get the suit on... its a good excuse to wear it

 

Suit without a doubt

 

Suit it is then!
Good excuse to wear it indeed.

Cheers fellas, fingers crossed eh.

 

Ive had a few interviews for internships in industry reciently - all of the replys I got asked me to come along for an "informal interview" - by this i thought a casual chat about what they had to offer and if i was suited to the work.

On arrival i soon found that all of them however were formal interviews, set questions etc etc Always best to be suited and booted, and know the background on the companies (annual reports, current contracts, vision etc etc).

All the best.
