The Suit

I bought a suit for an interview and very nice it is too, actually I have a couple of suits… but whats it all about. I never normally wear a suit, and certainly never a tie, they make me feel uncomfortable, restricted and ill at ease, so why the heck wear one to an interview where being relaxed, being yourself and feeling confident and at ease are all important…

The suit as its worn today probably originally derived from Ottoman/Turkish dress imported to europe, it has become ‘de rigeur’ for men and women and its hard to break away from or deconstruct though many have tried.
At the last interview I went to I didn’t wear a tie, didn’t get the job either, were they connected. Having also interviewed with a view to employ others, I am aware dress is important. They say your minds made up as an interviewer in 10-20seconds of seeing the person…so much for equal opps interviews.
Perhaps we are stuck with this archaic outlook, that a suit and tie must be worn at interview, I mean hugo boss got rich on it, why would he want to change it.
