I know this comes up every now and then, but I need some PH collective help.

I am going for an informal interview at a large corporate company in IT and the dress code is business casual.

I've only ever worked for a small companies and I haven't been to a job interview this century paperbag

So, what is considered business casual? I was thinking black shoes, suit trousers and shirt, but that may put me at a disadvantage as a bit uptight/stuffy?

Googling says blazer and slacks or roll neck sweater and chinos scratchchin

Serious and not so serious advice gratefully received thumbup

Thanks.

This interview is a walk around and meet some management and a chat, rather than a sit down Q & A session I'm told. Sort of do I fit in / is it for me meeting

I was hoping this wouldn't be moved to a less visited part of PH and get a bit more traffic frown

Anyway, thanks for the input everyone thumbup

Thanks for the responses everyone.

I'll go for the Daniel Craig look (without the watch and the neck chain). The cool undercover hitman/spy look should go down well thumbup

Thanks everyone for the help, I've just been offered the job!! party

I went with the suit no tie as per the Bond look above for the informal meeting which turned in to an informal interview which I wasn't expecting so i'm glad I went with the advice here!

Formal interview I went fully suited and booted - black suit, light blue shirt and tie.

Thanks again, i'm bloody over the moon

woohoowoohoo
