Re: Must One Wear Suit To A Job Interview? by lincs25(m): 11:36am On Jan 26, 2018
If you have wear, if you don't have, don't bother yourself! I attend interview in Abuja without but I blinded the interviewer the way I was answering questions and I was selected, call for training and employed.
Re: Must One Wear Suit To A Job Interview? by Nobody: 11:41am On Jan 26, 2018
Not necessarily.

But appearing in suit is already an indication that you esteem the firm, and also ready to give your best when convenient and not convenient.

Capital NO! As an Engineer been interviewed for an engineering position, you go with Polo shirt, jeans and boots! A dress that can enable you perform the task you are being interviewed for if your skills were to be tested. #elenusnugget

it depends on ur profession and post offered for the interview. (profession like Accountancy likes u to be on suit)
it depends on the level of the company.
some companies can disqualify u for not wearing suit, unless u are the best performed candidate.
My office just disqualified candidates that performed well because their dressing is not impressive.
If u dont have suit, go borrow for d interview. When u resume many people wont be so keen as to u wearing suit so far u ironed ur shirt and use tie.

Still remember how people wore suit and tie to KPMG aptitude test to avoid stories that touch
Re: Must One Wear Suit To A Job Interview? by yvesboss(m): 2:33pm On Jan 26, 2018
I intentionally stopped the suit and tie stuffs when i realized it makes me uncomfortable..i have been to several interviews with my shirt and sometimes my jacket without a tie and i am yet to see any interviewer ask me about that.

The most important thing is that study the company before going because some companies, it is a taboo to wear flet sole shoe talkless of you not wearing suit and tie
Re: Must One Wear Suit To A Job Interview? by Nobody: 2:42pm On Jan 26, 2018
suit is not necessary for interview except u are going for a bank interview aside that suit is not a must...I hate suit though..well in Nigeria I see teachers wear suit to interview..imagine..wetin we no go see for naija...even some schools won't allow u to dress corporate with tie and shirt u must put on suit...elements of teaching a teacher must be comfortable while teaching but Nigeria mentality u must wear suit...interview suit work suit Friday suit abegi...

its not about cCloth but about what you have upstairs... You can wear suit of 1million and won't get the job.... And above all everything centered on the grace of God

It's not a must.


I got a job without wearing suit to the interview. Actually, every other invited candidates wore suit.... I was the only one wearing sleeve and trouser, no tie. I was decent enough and the outfit was fit for purpose.

I don't like suit, however, I had to wear it during my wedding and that was the last time I ever wore suit.

Your outfit to an interview session is important, but what you carry inside is more important.

At times I wonder if anything can ever make me wear Suit... including wedding, I won't , I just can't. If the priest refuse to join us together, we join ourselves rubber bands angry
