Our latest findings reveal that most jobseekers go shopping and buy a whole brand new outfit before they go for an interview.
40% of respondents say that they would go to the shops in order to purchase everything new. 24% go out to buy a few new things. Interestingly, 36% reuse their wardrobe.
Some people re-using their wardrobe may have already bought a new outfit for recent previous interviews therefore not needing to buy everything brand new. Some may already be smart in their day to day life so have suitable and appropriate clothing anyway.
First impressions count and by turning up looking the part, you will be off to a better start than if you turn up in scruffy jeans and a cap. If that requires a visit to the shops, then so be it - you will not regret it!
