Good day
I would need advice on what to wear for my second job interview, let's settle the background :
I'm a 29 year old engineer. Until now I have never been interested in appearance or whatsoever, except in rare formal occasions.
I have dressed mostly as a homeless man until now. Inproving these last years by usually wearing a pair of blue jeans and button down shirts.
Now I have the opportunity of a lifetime to get into a much more serious business, and for that job, I'll be representing the company on the international level. Business class flights and fancy hotels, sounds line "Up in the air" movie scenario !
I have went through a first screening process, then a second one, then I met my yet-to-be manager in an interview.
For that interview I wore the only suit I had, a black C&A 100€ suit ....
With a burgundy red shirt and a striped tie in the same colour palette.
Interview went well, and now they want to see me for the final one. That's almost it, I have a foot inside already and just need this final step to make.
On first interview, the manager complimented me on the suit, but also said that next time it's not necessary to have the full suit-and-tie apparel, they have a more casual look when in the office.
He was wearing a dark blue pair of trousers, with a light blue shirt and a black leather belt with black shoes
After the interview we had some mails, and today he told me that he will introduce me to the CEO (who's the only person above him)
So there I am, completely confused and not sleeping about what should I wear.
- Should I listen to this manager and wear a more casual outfit ? ( i am thinking about grey trousers with grey waistjacket, a discrete blue tie and brown suede shoes)
- Or should I stick with a suit (i have only 1 free day to go out shopping .... ) and try to impress the Big Boss ?
If you can share some pictures of perfect outfits for this occasion, it would be even better
Also, please note that this happens in Belgium, were outfits are not as important as in America. However, it is an american company !
(And please forgive any grammar mistake, it is not my mother tongue)
Thanks in advance.
