2nd Interview, only one suit...
Discussion
I've got a second job interview tomorrow after having the first on Tuesday. Do you think they'll notice/it will matter if I'm wearing the same suit? I will change the tie and shirt...
My current and previous jobs have not required me to wear a suit and so I only have one that is respectable. I don't want to spend on a new one just in case I don't get the job. Of course if I get the job then I will have to go shopping!

I interview on a regular basis and it wouldn't bother me. I would be looking to see that you had made an effort and looked presentable, rather than worrying about how many different suits may be in your wardrobe. Lots of people only have one smart suit.
ETA - Good luck in the interview

Someone I used to work with ran interviews and wouldn't offer a job to someone who came to the second interview in the same suit as the first. Mind, he was a complete cock and I doubt anybody else would really notice to be honest.
yeah sounds like a nobber.......what if someone just had two suits the same!! selwonk said:

Someone I used to work with would bin all CV's from graduates. I quizzed him about this policy and he gave some crap about all graduates being lazy tossers. I pointed out that he was about the only person in the department without a degree. He was also a lazy tosser but I thought better of mentioning this at the time

If I interview someone for the second time, I do not remember the clothes, half the time can only just remember the face, or the face does not match the notes and you have got the wrong person back. Having said that most of the people I have employed have ended up being very good.
Same here... I can't remember what shirt I wore a couple of days ago let alone which suit the guy I interviewed was wearing! There tends to be a few things higher up my priority list than what people wear and how often!Gassing Station | Jobs & Employment Matters | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
