It depends if your new job involves a pole. |

The other thing to take into account is the height issue, heals make you taller and therefore in a management position can put you above the people "under you" |

That's kinda what I think too... sorry. I think a smart heel is fine. A 5" heel is OTT for an inter_iew. If your flats are smart then wear them. If you have an inbetween then go with that. I'd avoid 5" heels for an inter_iew. |

My preferred mode of dress for an inter_iew is...flippers,cricket pads,a kilt and an old style deep sea divers helmet. In todays competitive job market it really makes you stand out from the crowd.
I suppose I should add that I have been unemployed for the past 23 years. |

In any management role you will be expected to make 'sensible' decisions.
The vast majority of society will not think 5 inch heels are a sensible workwear choice... thus are likely to think you can't even make a good call about what shoes to wear never mind their business.

I would go with what you feel happy with, if you feel confident with your image then this will come across during inter_iew. The other thing to think about is how the shoes will be perceived if they are on show, ie, if you have to do a presentation. I personally would go for comfort and smart but with something individual for them to rdmember you by, a black suit with courts but a glimpse of coloured blouse under the jacket etc |

Exactly! 
I have Chaired a few inter_iew panels in my time and first impressions DO count! I've seen people turn up for an inter_iew for jobs that involve going for meetings with governent ministers, senior civil servants, CEOs etc dressed in jeans and trainers, blouses open to the waist, football/bowling/polo shirts.
If you're applying for a management position in a Peter Stringfellow establishment then 5" heels would be ideal, if not... |

"go in your flats, then change into your heals when you get there, lol.
It depends really on what looks better."
my thoughts exactly, I often do this, you just need a big handbag and they are very "on trend" right now.  |
