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

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.

      I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
