I work for the civil service and in a couple of weeks' time, I have an interview for a job two grades up from where I am at the moment. It's within the same organisation but a different department, and also at a different office to the one I'm based in, so they don't know me, although obviously they'll done some digging and probably spoken to my equivalent there!
Basically, do people think I should dress as if it's a brand new job at a new organisation, or will that look too try-hard? Around the office, people usually wear smart-casual business wear - not jeans, but also not suits. I myself am normally in a skirt and jumper...
Oh, and I will have to wear it for a two-hour train journey to London plus a scramble on the Piccadilly line, so it needs to be practical too! I really need the money, tbh, so definitely don't want to mess this up.
