Is it OK to ask my interviewers what to wear?
Is it OK to ask my interviewers what to wear?
Well I have an interview in London in an accounting firm in three weeks for my first serious employment. Do you people think it's OK for me to ask my interviewers what to wear? I ask this because on an another occasion, I was interviewed by an accountant who was wearing jeans and shirt, and I wore a suit. I thought that was an exaggeration on my part! Any advice on what to wear on the day of my interview in the English business environment? I'm French so I have no clue!

Answer 1 :
No. A nice dress shirt, and slacks. That way you aren't under or overdressed.
Answer 2 :
No wear the suite
Answer 3 :
Wear the suit again. Better to be over-dressed than under-dressed. It will make a good impression on the employers.
Answer 4 :
No! Do not ask them, they will be expecting you to wear a nice conservative suit and tie (men) or a very dressy suit or formal business clothes (women) with nice shoes, well shaven (men) and tidy hair. Business formal for interviews, always.
Answer 5 :
well i think you should all ready know wat 2 where if you just going in and interviewer just where something really nice if they want it 4 you 2 where something special they wold of told you
Answer 6 :
wear a suit. you cant go wrong if you wear a suit hun
Answer 7 :
it depends on your job which you applied for.......
Answer 8 :
Don't ask them, you should always wear a suit to an interview. Sometimes offices have "dress down Friday" that may have been why he wasn't wearing one, but as an interviewee you will always be expected to.
Answer 9 :
No, you must not ask such basic questions when you can observe what is the norm for that company by visiting their offices. Wear a suit and tie at all your interviews if they are office based. Manual work is a different kettle of fish.
Answer 10 :
You should be approriately derssed in a suit if you want to be an accountant. in th U.K. Not at all okay to ask your interviewer what to wear.
Answer 11 :
For general interviews, wearing dress shoes, dress pants, collared shirt and a tie is a good way to go. It's not over the top but it's not over dressed. There are exceptions. Anything in the corporate, business, government or high end sectors - I would wear a suit. You're going for an accounting job? Suit would be a must. Don't worry about what the interviewer is wearing. Focus on their questions. Sure I can understand that it may be exaggeration on your part but it speaks a lot. Good luck. I hope you get the job that's suited for you.
Answer 12 :
Joel is correct. Never ask them what you should wear - it is a great way of saying you don't know anything and they could infer that you are not capable of doing the job if you don't even know what to wear. It is best to be dressed to the nines as they say - it shows you care about the company to be dressed in your best - it gives a good impression. It doesn't matter what the interviewer wears - he already has the job - it is you that needs to dress up.
Answer 13 :
Wear the suit. It doesn't matter what the interviewer is wearing. You would never go to an interview in jeans just so that you match. You need to "dress to impress." Don't ask your interviewer. You don't want them to think you don't even understand basic business etiquette.
Answer 14 :
If you really want the job, dress your best, and wear the suit. If you don't dress your best, then the way I would see it, as a hiring manager, that you don't really have an interest in the position.
Answer 15 :
Never ask an interviewer what you should wear! That tells them that you haven't got the sense to figure it out for yourself. Always be smart - it doesn't matter if you are overdressed, but it would matter if you are under dressed!

I have just completed an HNC business management course, what kind of job and salary might I be able to get?
I have just completed an HNC business management course, what kind of job and salary might I be able to get?
During the course I studied business it + employment law, contract law, hrm, business management theory, accounts and finance, economics and world economics: In all there were 15 units all passed to HNC level. If I wanted to become an accountant or a business consultant what would I need to study in addition to the HND I will be undertaking next year?

Answer 1 :
Are you planning on going to university? Most recruiters want university students. You could look at CIMA and ACCA which are reputable qualifications. The ACCA can be done without a degree and can be done at home. If you are looking to work for one of the big firms ( for eg the big 4 accounting firms ) then you will need a 2.1 in a university degree, in addition to meeting their UCAS points requirements. If I were you I would search the 3 accounting qualifications... ACA ACCA and CIMA. This will give you a clearer idea on what you want to do.

what can a new employer do to check employment through a family business?
what can a new employer do to check employment through a family business?
the reference given to them was from the family business accountant who is also related. (makes sense to keep money within family if possible) they are treating me like this is unacceptable. what other ways can they check employment history dates etc. I am so worried as I really need the money.

Answer 1 :
Apaprt from not believe you there is nothing they can do. They have to either trust you and accept that even if they checked the reference your family would lie for you, or not give you the job. You should probably get some 'real' references as well.
Answer 2 :
Usually someone you have know for at least 2-5 years who can verify your ability to do the job you are applying for, someone who is able to tell them about stuff like your attendance and efficiency for doing your last job. This should work, maybe a good friend or business professional. Good luck!

What to do with time spent travelling on cv?
What to do with time spent travelling on cv?
Where should recent time (2years+) spent travelling be included in a CV? I have sections on Employment History and Education, but I'm looking for advice on where and how to document my recent time travelling? And should I be talking about skills developed, languages learnt, etc? This is for a job as an accountant

Answer 1 :
Most employers will expect your 1 page CV to be laid out as a 'time-line', with your most recent job first, working back job by job until you left school Typically the first page has your contact details, current/leaving salary, a summary of your qualifications (including degree results ect), plus details of your last job (about 1/3rd to 1/2 page) including 'date started' and the one before that (1/4 page) with date started, date left ... The second side is a list of previous jobs, each in less and less detail, starting with one paragraph, ending with just dates, name of company, job title and leaving salary. Any 'gaps' in the time-line MUST be explained (otherwise the assumption will be that you were "serving time" :-) ) .. for example, "2004-2006 Sabbatical, working with 3rd world charity" or "sponsored round-the-world sailing trip" (or what-ever). The final thing on the last page is the list of Universities & Schools attended.
Answer 2 :
I just can't believe the advice that some people give out. A CV is a Sales Document - it is actually "selling " You. On that basis some things are important and some are not. Your CV can be up to two pages in length but no longer In the UK we read from left to right - information on the Left side of the page has more impact than information written on the right. Job titles must be written on the left and employment dates on the right If you write dates on the left you run the risk of the reader looking at dates only and depending on how you have spent your employment time could come to the wrong decision about the writer. Time out travelling should be included under HOBBIES/INTERESTS unless the time spent travelling included some form of employment. I teach CV writing and have prepared lessons on the subject. I have also advised employers on what they should be looking for on a CV. I get really fed up with so called "experts" who give out bad advice.
