Job Interview Questions: Should I wear a tie to a job interview at the same company at which I work?

Normally wear nice jeans and a dress shirt to work. I can agree on wearing a suit... but should the suit include a tie? I think ties are sometimes silly.

The Easy Way to Answer Job Interview Questions



Recommended Answer:
For an interview, go with shirt and tie. If you don't usually wear one, it will show how much you want the promotion. Good Luck!!

Nifty Tips For Winning a Job Interview - A Must Look


  • It wouldn't be a bad idea to wear a tie. It would show that you respect the interview and the position you're applying for. You could always take the tie and the suit jacket off after the interview.

    A good rule of thumb is dress for the job you want, not the job you have. If the new position will require a tie, then definitely wear a tie.

  • If you are going to wear a suit, definately wear a tie.
    Another option, depending on where you work, is a nice shirt with a tie.

    You need to judge based on where you work. You generally want to look better than a normal work day, to show you are serious about this and to be taken seriously. When you see people wearing suits there, do they wear a tie? If so - wear one! It doesn't matter if you think the tie looks silly, it's what is respected there.

    Good luck!

  • Always your turn ot will show interviewer how serious you are, even though you know every in the room it is etiquette of modern day interviews.

  • The company already knows what you wear to work, so why give them false impressions.

  • yes - remember you are going to a job interview,even if its at your own company. dress for the interview not your job . gl (:>))

  • I would say go with the tie. They may be silly, but to most business's' they say professional.

  • Just like everyone else said: Yes, wear a tie! A suit without a tie just says you don't quite care enough to give "110%".

    Recommended Answer:
    You've done everything you can, now it's time to rest. Make sure you get a good nights sleep tonight and eat a good breakfast tomorrow. When the interview is over follow up in a day or two with a phone call. This is just to thank the interviewer for their time and to let them know you are available for any follow up questions if they should have some. Truthfully, though, it's to keep you fresh in their mind ;) Also make sure you follow up by sending a thank you card or letter. Same type of thing, thank them for taking the time to meet with you. Good luck!!

    Job Interview Questions: How do you ace a job interview?

    I was just wondering how you really impress the interviewer when your in a job interview? I thought I did my best at a job interview but she didn't call me or anything. I hope next interview I do better.

    10 Biggest Job Interviewing Mistakes



    Recommended Answer:
    There isn't really a particular thing that you can do to ensure you'll get the job. Interviewers can be vastly different in terms of their personalities and level of experience. Different people will find different things impressive. Some people will focus on your attitude or professionalism, others will not pay attention to anything except the content of your answers.

    Many times it is not about whether you did your best - sometimes it has to do with your qualifications, versus the other candidates. If another applicant has more experience, more training, certifications, etc, then there isn't too much you can say in the interview to get the job.

    I would suggest you just do what you can to prepare - this means researching the company online, and also practicing with common interview questions and thinking about how you would answer them. Then just be yourself. It's not only about getting an offer, it's about finding a company where you will fit in, and they will value the unique mix of skills and knowledge that you bring to the table.

    Job Interview - How Your Body Language Can Affect Your Interview


    • im surprised those other 2 answers didnt mention what is, in my opinion, the most important thing..... interview questions!!! now, i dont mean the questions that they ask you.... no need to prepare for those. i mean, you should prepare a list of questions that YOU can ask to the interviewer. if at the end of the interview they say "do you have any questions?" and you have none, good luck getting hired. asking questions is important for a few reasons. first, it shows that you are truly interested. if you ask questions about the company industry, they will know you have done some research about the related industry. ask some questions about the company history, and also the job that youre being interviewed for. ask about specific tasks, and feel free to share your experiences if they relate to the job at hand. come prepared with a notepad with 10-20 questions on it. really, this makes a HUGE difference and im always surprised to see a question with 4 or 5 answers.... and none of them suggest making a list of questions!!!

      good luck!

    • First impression: Be dressed professionally (suit); give a firm handshake, and exchange business cards.

      Be prepared to answer every question by giving specific examples of how it relates to your experience and/or education.

      Never badmouth a former boss, coworker, or company.

      Don't ask about salary, vacation or benefits. let them bring it up.

      Don't reveal personal information.

    • Confidence is the key. Unless you have the one qualification that they must have and no one else can match. The way to get the confidence is to go on lots of interviews. When you have attended 10, you realize that the interviewer is nervous, too. She doesn't want to make a mistake.
