I have a trial tomorrow afternoon with the body shop for an hour.
This is a big deal to me as although I was in the finance industry previously, I gave it up to raise my children. I since have terrible social anxiety and I applied for a retail position as I've not worked in 6 years and I wanted to ease myself back into the work place as well as earn my own money while I retrain for a professional career again. (I have no desire to go back to the finance industry).
my question is what do I wear? and what should I expect?
please can anyone help I'm stupidly anxious and embarrassed that a woman of my age would be anxious about a part time job.

Smart casual. Longline jacket and loose trousers (worn with a belt) and a nice necklace?

thanks I was thinking black smart trousers and a black top and jacket but DH thinks I should have a white shirt or top?

They wear all black so you’re right! I wouldn’t worry too much though as it’s a trial. Be chatty and friendly and you’ll be fine.

Thank you. I used to work with lots of financial clients everyday and now I'm nervous about thisConfused. Funny how not having a job for a few years can knock your confidence so badly.
