    Always go smart for all the interviews both with the local Supt and the interview panel shirt and tie you can't go wrong and it demonstrates you are taking the process seriously. It worked for me

    Don't forget to mention the crotchless knickers you wore. Always makes a good impression

    Have to agree dress professionally and that's how you will be perceive. Only one shot at an interview. How badly do you want it. From the time you walk in the door the judging starts. Do you want to stand out in the interviewers mind do you want to stand out from all the other applicants
    My advice and I have been on both sides if the table as an interviewer and interviewee is that a well and appropriate dress applicant always demands your attention

    Dress professionally for all interviews that you have!! You never get a second chance to make a first impression. Shirt, tie, trousers / suit for men and shirt and trousers or smart dress for ladies.
