Informal college interview - what to wear

Highlandgirl72, 26 February, 2009 at 14:47 Posted on Off Topic Posts 0 6

Afternoon ladies,

I have applied to do Pharmaceutical Sciences at my local college (I will be a mature student at the age of 36!) - and I have been invited to attend an informal interview tomorrow afternoon to discuss my application further/find out more about the course. What do you think I should wear? Should I dress as if I'm going to a job interview or just be smart casual?

Thanks!

    I'd go smart as if for a job interview.

    When i went to all my uni interviews everyone most people was were smart - suits/businessy wear. 5 or so years later, when i was doing tours of the dept for prospective undergrads they were mostly in jeans. The ones that made an effort really stood out, in a good way.

    Hi I love shoes,

    It's James Watt College in Greenock and it's an NC in Pharmaceutical Sciences. Do you work in Pharmacy?

    Thanks!

    I learned the hard way there is no such thing as an informal interview! I was invited for one for a sandwich placement, to find a panel of four all firing questions at me! I doubt it will be like that but I always find confidence in looking smart so I perform better IYSWIM.
