slightly off topic...

Just looking for a bit of advice regarding an upcoming job interview. How shall I dress? (No daft comments lol)
The last "interview" I had was about 12 years ago. The company is a nationwide "outdoor multimedia advertiser" and the role is to install and maintain the electrical aspect.
I feel going dressed in a suit is too much, any advice please?

You need to impress them, the first thing they will judge you on is how you present yourself. Make the effort and it will show you are serious about the job!

I'm lucky I kind of knew my current boss before I started so interviewed wearing wellies, combat trousers and camoflauge jacket (had been out shooting!) lol.

Nice one resu! I shoot too!
Cotty, I always have polished shoes!

Get the suit on! It shows you make an effort. Take a CV with you too, apparently it's the done thing now.

Ha ha, remember Silence Of The Lambs?
It puts the lotion on it's skin or it will get the hose again.
If you have one of those suits for hells sake leave it at home.

Wear a suit, if you don't have one hire one.

Take a folder with qualifications and a copy of your CV. Usually or in my experience there is more than one person doing the interview, so one can peruse your folder whilst the other is asking questions. Takes a bit of pressure off you, and you come across as looking prepared.

Stop bringing back memories of my childhood!
