To wear this for an interview?

[youremyperson]

It's for a clinical position on a children's ward. I've not interviewed in person for a long time!! Is this professional enough?

Definitely not!

Nobody going to bother reading the thread then?
SHE WORE IT AND GOT THE JOB

I think it’s lovely. Given focus in MH on being person centred, I’d think it a positive sign that you’re comfortable showing you have a personality ans aren’t an identical corporate-bot. Esp if working with children, bringing a little bit of sunshine and colour to the world - carrying hope - could be uplifting for people using your services. Let your personality shine through the gloom. Good luck!

I love these threads! Cancel the cheque!

Too loud. Nothing more to say

I don't think it's very professional-looking. It's like something you'd wear to a BBQ party or something. If you have to ask us then you know it's not quite right.

Well you look very foolish,that outburst She wore the dress She got the job

@restrainingorder

can i be the first to say you definitely won't get the job and need a little black suit. :;

Can I be the first to say you’re absolutely talkin out your arse She wore the dress She got the job

No lil black suit required

If I was going for a clinical position I'd dress, like, clinical/professional. Just a suit or something. You're not selling your personality, but how well you can do the job.

@youremyperson

I did wear the dress. The person in front of me wore t shirt and jeans the people who interviewed me wore scrubs. It wasn't very formal but I got the job so that's great!

Yay! Wonderful news OP I bet you looked wonderful

I need a thesaurus I only know the adjective wonderful 🤣

Goodness! There's some boring people on here. If you were interviewing for a job in the city or the corporate world I would say no but OP is going for a role on a children's ward.

I would wear it with black ballet pumps and a cardigan to keep it grounded as an outfit. If I was interviewing you I would think you were a fun, cheerful person who wasn't afraid to show a bit of personality and pizazz. If you like it, wear it.

Congratulations!

It's absolutely gorgeous, but no, not suitable for an interview. Not even with a dark jacket. where's it from?

Yay! Well done

I love all the definitive no way.NO! Posts. All emboldened and sure of their POV
Have clearly not read thread, She wore the dress She got the job

Late to this - congratulations for getting the job!! I’m glad you wore it, I think it’s gorgeous and just right to make you confident in your interview.

Congratulations!
I know I said NO, but you know yourself best - well done!

Honestly it's like when you post on FB
"Got this lovely jacket, £20 from next, comes in black or blue, here's the link"
Then you get
"Where from?"
"How much?"
"Was there other colours?"
"Have you got the link?"

Fantastic news OP. I'm so glad I don't work in a role where boring black, grey and navy suits are de rigueur. As an interviewer I would much prefer to see a bit of personality in an interviewee and as others have said, it helps you to get noticed.

Well done OP!! And well done for wearing the dress. I bet you looked and felt great.

Very much so esp all the definitive no! You’ll not get the post, it’s unprofessional etc comments

I often wear things like this. Would wear it to an interview with a black 50s cardie and ballet pumps.

Congratulations on getting the job and trusting your instincts regarding the dress OP.

My first thought was “FFS, another example of something men never need to waste headspace on.”

Lovely dress, but wasted on an interview OP. Sorry.😞
Something plain, maybe a bodycon style dress, or something with a smaller pattern would be more apt for an interview.
Good luck with the interview btw😁😉
