mate, you can't go past the business atire. You'll look your best regarless of whether or not you'll be dressing up that much daily for the role.

Remember, statistically, a person makes thier first impression of you within the first 7 seconds of meeting you so you want those 7 seconds to include a good presentation, a solid handshake and a kind and confident greeting followed by an appreciation for having you there in the first place.

so a good handshake and a "hello, nice to meet you, thanks for taking the time to talk to me today" will do you the world of good.

Also, remember that you'll be representing their company so if they see someone in jeans and someone in a suit, who do you think they'll have a greater confidence displaying their logo on?

Best of luck with it :happy:

I always beleive that the attire you wear depends on the job you're applying for.

For a security guard job, I don't think it'll matter what you wear. just something NEAT and casual e.g. a polo shirt and dress jeans (not the ripped, multicoloured patchy ones).

On the other hand, if you were applying for an office secretary position, i'd wear dress pants, shoes and a nice shirt (with or without tie depending on shirt).

On the other hand, if you were applying for a professional position, i'd go full on out with a shirt, tie and suit.

i always go to a job interview thinking that there is going to be some absolute hottie thats gonna interview me - give me incentive to look my best for the interview. Just a little mind game that I play - and so far its worked pretty well - cos regardless of whether or not the person interviewing is a hottie or not - they get the impression that Im one of those professional guys who means business when I go for the interview. (if you know what I mean)

but congrats on the job anyway :P

      Turn signal wiring question

      By OakvilleGTR · Posted

      Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..

      Lower A arm Skyline v35

      The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.

      Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????

      Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
