Re: traveling with bus, wearing coat?

I think you should ask your mother, Oh my goodness. If you do not have a long coat (this is because I am so nice) put the ski jacket on and take the blazer in a bag. Just one meter before you go in you change, or you change in the garderobe.

Fresh underwear, nose and ear cleaned no tattoos visable etc. rings out of your nose, ears, eyebrowes etc. and you are good to go. I ask only 25 percent of your first salary , my account number is 528877-66666542.

I would expect the place has also other visitor coming, at least occasionally, and therefore also some place to put overcoats just inside the entrance. At least I can't remember one that didn't have....

And bring a pair of slippers.
You could change your shoes in the garderobe too and not spread snow on their floor.

Defenetively Reinos (maybe not the pink ones); they should be able to see you feel right at home there. Most of employees anyhow running around on their socks (IT).

Research the company well. From experience, I went for an IT job interview during last autumn. Dressed in a formal suit I walked in to see I was a monkey. Every one including the manager was in casuals. And I got a stare of perplexity from each employee around me. And then a lady walked up and said "Ah you're here for the interview..." , knowing I was the only one dressed radically.

My point - Dont walk in with a mink coat neither a wedding suit. Consider the post you are being interviewed for and then arrange clothes for the occasion.

Good Luck :thumbsup:

As I was told in previous thread on this form that for job interview I should wear a suite. Now I'm just wondering how to manage, I mean, I'll travel with bus from the hotel, and it will be pretty cold in the morning so I need to wear some jacket. So should I wear the jacket on my coat or what? Is there usually some place in the company interview place where I can take off my jacket? I mean, I'm trying to find some way which doesnt look odd. Thanks
I think your attire will be the least of your worries if you turn up wearing a suite, let alone your back will be killing you.

Thank god somebody quoted it. As an infrequent board visitor, I only found this thread now, and until that last post there I was wondering what the hell it was originally about. Based on the replies, it was really hard to tell :beer_yum:

Unfortunately he did not get the job. Well it normally takes a couple of hundred letters and 50 interviews before you might get into a 'good' job.
