Job Interview - No Suits Allowed

A tracksuit’s still a suit right?

The 2 interviewers were also dressed in smart shirts with decent jeans so I fit in well.

It’s not a startup, but a multinational company looking to open a site in Belfast.

Think things went well, I’ll let you know.

Nice one, well done.

PS Are you located in NI yourself? Were the recruiters local?

Sounds like they want to see the real you and not some suited and booted version, first impressions can be misleading.

It also sounds like some crappy door to door sales gig.

Thanks! Yeah, I’m based here in NI. The 2 interviewers were from England.

Ha, no. There’s a sales element to it but it’s mostly product demonstration.

Well IT demos can be door to door sometimes. Just the doors are bigger the most and have things like "Google" and "Microsoft" written on them.

Glad it went well. It's not Wrightbus trying to win back customers, is it? Visiting bus depots and meeting fleet managers across the country in a tracksuit will be soul destroying

If it is, I've a mate who buys the buses for one of the big operators...I can give the OP the introduction for a teeny % of the commission!
