Fordy87 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hey guys been in Oz for 3 weeks now, currently in surfers paradise Gold Coast. I'm looking at applying for jobs here as I really like it here and want to stay a while. Was wondering what do most backpackers wear to interviews as I (and I'm sure most other backpackers) don't have a suit they have taken with them.

wolvesaussie Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Hi guess depends what job u go for. I work for a company that employs lots of back packers in call Centre. We interview every couple of weeks and the people that turn up wear a range of stuff. Some have suits. Many if not most are smart casual Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul1Perth Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Smart casual should do it. Just turn up and try and look like you've made an effort. Behave professionally, show an interest in the job and it will go a long way. If you have internet access it pays to do a bit of research on the company you are applying to. Just drop out a few little snippets of what you know about the company. It will all help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tingtongman Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 for office jobs, dress like you would back home, if you are still unsure, ask them what they are looking for you to wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fordy87 Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Cheers guys, I assumed you would have to dress smart and make an effort etc, just don't really want to have to go out and spend money on shirts and trousers if I didn't have too, especially just for an interview. Also the fact of having to pack more crap when we move on, as chucking them and re-buying in the next place is another expense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul1Perth Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Go to your nearest salvos and have a browse through the clothes there Fordy. You can pick up a decent suit if need be and afford to be able to throw it. I buy all my levis from there for about $20, already worn in too.
