When I just left university, I spent a significant amount of money I had on a suit for interviews. Then all the companies and recruiters said "just wear smart casual" and i said "FUCK YOU im wearing my overpriced suit". It hasn't actually impacted my interviews much, because for good interviewers who you are matters more than what you wear. Just don't wear obviously wrong things.
edit: I didn't actually say FUCK YOU to anyones face.
- collyw 12y agoI graduated in the dotcom bust, 2001. I had good grades, and got plenty of interviews (after putting a lot of effort into applications). The thing is, everyone / everywhere is different and places values on different things. If the job has a client facing aspect, I am sure wearing a suit would go down way better than jeans and t-shirt. I have worked mainly in back end stuff, so its not been as important. Working for a bank they have different expectations from academia.
