My First Interview!?

First Ever Interview?

• Hi All My name is Jody and I am 20 years old. I was wondering whether any of you could help me with advise for an interview I have on Wednesday. I have applied for a position with a French Bank in London as a Junior Clerk. I have never had an interview before and was wondering how I should dress for the interview. I am advised that I am one of 6 applicants attending on Wednesday and that we will all have a one on one interview followed by lunch and then some practical tests. I guess this will be to see how we work as a team etc. As there are so many parts to this interview I was wondering how I should present myself. I was also wondering whether it was correct to take off my jacket (if i wear one) if it gets hot or during the lunch or practical tests. Does anyone know what is the correct thing to do. As this is my first ever interview I am extremely nervous and don't want to present myself in a bad light. Thanks Jody

• Answer:

  ok first of relax, wear something app-orate but comfortable, I would suggest a black knee long skirt white t-shirt for comfort and a light black jacket over the top of the t-shirt. As long as you don't do something stupid like turn up in jeans and t-shirt then you should be fine, first impressions last, so what ever you wear feel comfortable and above confident in it. But not arrogant, theres a fine line between been impressive and being annoying. Just remember if you don't get the job you'll be in a no worse position than you are now. So tell yourself I am the right person for the position go in feeling relaxed and ready. Good luck
