ckc: The Interviewers weren't the serious type. Provided your dressing was corporate (Long sleeve shirt, Trouser with belt, Tie & corporate shoe) to match, that is the basic. Faded/Washed shirt? Mba.......This is beginning of training towards corruption. In an advance environment, interviewers presumed u wear your best to the venue. Naija HR, I hail ooooo |

your shirt was washed was part of the interview they want to know your reaction towards that statement and your feeling. |

A shirt from abroad doesn't mean it is of better quality. Op said the shirt was brand new... he unwrapped it. If something was not right with the shirt... it would've likely been the size..too big or too small/the colour... inappropriate /the material... wool or some shimmering material/ the style...with frills/tassels/not ironed...but never looked washed. The guy had to know the shirt was brand new.... so he must say the opposite... a lie... to test his reaction. Anger Control 101. |

It seems to me you took that statement much to heart to mean that ur dressing wasn't right for d interview. Anyways, if u're sincere about the newness of dt ur shirt then looking at that statement wt my celebral spectacle, I think it was made to test ur character. As u said u were really tempted to argue with em but ended up apologizing. Who knows what would have happened if u had taken d bait. Perhaps u wud have lost d chance of qualifying for d second stage of d interview but thank God u scaled thru. |

CuteMorriz: Evidence ke?! The payslip I sent them was more than 1m per month.. I asked for that amount as a sign of stepping down. Thats just the difference between an IOC and Local company.. Local Companies dey price person like dried fish and expect you to work like Horse. |

Again, I don't think der is anything wrong with dressing coperate to any interview. Instead of trying to impress d HRM by going in suit for d next appointment, won't it be more appealing if u spice up a bit by dressing SMARTLY coperate next time. |

My brother, don't you think what you wore to the first interview might have made you succeeded for the second interview? They might made a comment you don't like but proved to them you so much have the managerial confidence they wants. Don't look down on yourself, rather try and know what they really want. |

martyns303: Lol.. Dressing well actually costs quite a bit, be it traditional or otherwise. But here are some cool shortcuts; 1. Tailor lo'ron a.k.a Locally sewn. In my wardrobe, I own over 10 pairs of suit and only one was bought (a gift from my Dad on my very first day of work). And that suit is the most ill-fitting. Find a local tailor that knows what he is doing and get him to make you a bespoke suit. Even if it costs the same as the 'ready-made', the fitting can never be comparable. Try ABA.. You will be amazed what some of those tailors can sew.. (Just don't give them creative freedom lest you come out looking like a 'Nwanna'.. ) and pay them extra to use top quality accessories when making it. Even my wedding suit was bespoke by my tailor.. That Nigga na sculptor. 3. Tailor Lo'ron also makes my shirts.. I am huge and most shirts off the rack don't fit right. 4. Low end Oxfords (or Brogues) go from 10'k - 20'k a pair.. whish isnt too bad. Remember that you wouldn't wear them everyday so they will last you longer. Basically, as undergrads and co, we spend money on the latest trends, sneakers, kicks and boots, t-shirts, jeans, native attires and all that. But if we had slowly started investing in one nice pair of suit for Interview and formal purpose, by the time you are finishing school or NYSC, you should be able to boast of 1 suit, 1 shirt, 1 shoe and 1 belt wey ehn only job na interview. Nobody is saying go and bankrupt yourself on a Tom Ford suit. And I like the fact that your trousers end on top of your shoes. That can work. Mine goes lower. You will only notice my Mickey Mouse or Southpark socks when i cross my feet of when I sit down. Some niggas just let their trousers stop at their knees.. 1 Like 1 Share |

Okijajuju1: N10K for a pair of shoe is a lot for a lot of people, tnk God ur old man was there to bail u out on ur first suit. Used to be a skinny guy back in Uni, I usually go to Aba and have this guy (Fish, don't know why they call him Fish tho) make me clothes that fit, he owns a warehouse and tailors, I just select the materials and they cut and sow, N3K for everything, this was around 2010. Made my first suit 2011 in PH and I didn't like the outcome. When am ready u'll hook me up with ur tailor. Moss Bros is costing me a arm and leg... |

They were totally rude.... The shirt u were wearing got nothing to do with your experiences as long as it is clean and was not a shouting colour... If u are not being interviewed for a modelling job then that statement was rude... |

Bros,, you are lucky ooo. I can't forget the first time I attended bank interview with sparkling white shirt and corporate skirt, tucked in, with correct medium-heeled shoes. The kind of stares I got from the interviewers the moment I stepped into the interview room, I am yet to forget it. they commented on it.I know I did well in the interview,but I did not smell the second stage. Though some that wore first-class suits suffered same fate. Since that day, even if it's low-key job, the suit must be worn. |
