The job is a cashier/floor staff in a filling station shop. Obviously their uniform is casual sweater type tops but what to wear for interview? Confused

What have you got?

Smart trousers and a nice blouse?

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 25/04/2014 18:39

I probably have a suitable blouse but not trousers. I do have dresses but are they appropriate?

What sort of dress?

defineme · 25/04/2014 18:43

Clean, not jeans, nothing 'loud'. If you have any money asda do very cheap work wear.

defineme · 25/04/2014 18:45

if the dress is too formal button a cardigan over it and wear with flat shoes. If the dress is too casual smarten up with jacket if you have one?

When I interview I like to see black trousers and a nice top with a small heel, not too 'try hard' and smart

YoureBeingASillyBilly · 25/04/2014 18:45

I have two that i am thinking of. One is black shift type dress but has a centre panel with leopard print so i'm thinking no? The other is another black and grey knit.

Actually i dont think i'd feel right in the dresses. Think bette to go with trousers.

Would black trousers that are slightly bootleg be ok or too 'of their time'? What shape are trousers supposed to be these days?

Just see the update, a dress is fine as long as it's not shorter than skimming the knee and if it's sleeveless wear a cardi

Ooh xposting. Ok so black trousers and smart top with small (black?) heels? I have heels and a top. My sister may have trousers.
