Nice shirt and trousers, have seen ones in full tracksuit and dirty trainers.
First impressions are key, you don't have to be in a full suit but smartly dressed atleast. |

"In person interview.
Do people still wear suits? "
For some reason, a dress and heels makes me more confident and comfortable... In my normal life, I rarely wear dresses and usually in my gym kit. |

I had a job interview last week over Teams. I put on a suit and tie as I’d expect anyone I was interviewing to do the same.
At first I was considering wearing jeans for the bottom half as it wouldn’t be seen, but thought just on the off chance I had to stand I’d put the full suit on. |

I always wear a suit, I'd rather they think I was too smart than too scruffy. All it needs is one person on the panel expecting a suit and tie and it's a negative impression straight off |

It really does depend on the industry and the position, but I'd always err on the side of overdressed rather than underdressed, first impressions really do count. I work in Corporate World and would never dream of attending an interview unless I was fully suited and booted. |

"If I were going into an office I’d smarten up but mostly I’m in factories so jeans and a shirt is more than enough "
And it must have been enough as I wore similar to two interviews in the same place this week and was given the job yesterday  |

I had a job interview on Thursday, set my alarm for 7am as my interview was at 9 giving me plenty of time to get dressed and sorted for interview.
I only slept in ! Woke up at 8.40 and my interview was 9am and 20mins away. I had prepared what I was wearing the day before, so basically jumped out of bed throw my clothes on and jump in the car shirt unbuttoned looking a right mess, hair not done or even time to brush my teeth. Grabbed a mouthful of toothpaste on way out door.
Traffic was light so i arrived bang on time.
Straightened myself out went for the interview and smashed it.
I start my new lob Monday.
To answer your questions I didn't wear a suit I wore smart trousers and shirt and matching belt and shoes. |

Don’t think it has to be a suit but definitely smartly dressed. I guess it depends what you are going for but I imagine if it’s an industry you’re progressing in then you will have a good idea of what is expected of you. Sent my son to his supermarket interview in smart trousers, shirt and tie. I wore smart clothes to my interview even though I am a cleaner. |

If in doubt, wear a suit (that doesn't rhyme does it?)
Where I work, men had to wear a tie 4 or 5 years ago, now people wear jeans and some wear trainers. I wouldn't suggest that for an interview though! |
