that one is in tomorrow!! Soovy said:
So so very wrong.
Jeans to an interview = no job.
With all due respect Soovy, I think that the industry that one is in may make a difference.Jeans to an interview = no job.
Whilst I agree that a candidate will not get a job in your industry if they turn up to an interview in jeans, it doesn't mean that they should_not get the job.

No, it indicates "I couldn't give a toss what you think about how I've dressed", even more revealing...
HTH
No, it indicates that they are taking the interview just as seriously as the next candidate as the interviewer should be interviewing the candidate, not the candidate's wardrobe.HTH
your attitude astounds me but maybe you work in a very different field to most people I know.

To a degree, yes you're probably right. Still, I'm not quite sure why you don't accept the idea of dressing well for a job interview though 
If you're serious about getting a job, regardless of what field of work it is in, you make an effort with your appearance.QuackHandle said:

I’m amazed you think this is acceptable.
Why is the concept so hard to understand?You interview a candidate. What they look like has no relevance to how well they will do the job that you are advertising.
Would you also discriminate against a tattooed person? Someone with facial piercings? Someone with visible birth-marks? An amputee?
If we assume no to those questions...
Why are you discriminating against something that is so easily changed?
I have interviewed hundreds and hundreds of people over the last ten years.
If anyone ever turned up in jeans - they wouldn't get the job.
If anyone turns up one minute late - they wouldn't get the job.
I expect a level of respect, and the right sort of mindset. Wearing jeans and/or being late shows me that they don't have either.
My industry is office based - and as such I would expect people to be smart at all times when they have the job - they need to doubly impress in an interview.
I can't believe anyone would ever think it was ok to turn up to interview in jeans.
the world has gone mad

I'm really not answering that.

I've never understood the people who think this is acceptable. To turn up to any interview wearing jeans just screams 'I couldn't give a toss what I look like' which shouts pretty loudly to the interviewer about your view on the job as well.
No it doesn't.HTH
HTH
With your view in mind, surely then it would be acceptable to walk in with my car cleaning jeans/shorts on and a grubby t-shirt, if jeans should be acceptable? Hopefully you're aware in this day and age the importance of appearance as well as your overall competence and ability when taking part in an interview?
