A savvy jobseeker bagged her dream role with an unconventional approach to interviewing – by wearing a quirky outfit.
She donned her husband’s suit for a crucial meeting with potential employers. Detailing her unique strategy on Reddit, the woman asserted that her choice of clothing was pivotal to the interview success.
In the post, she wrote: “I wore my husband’s suit and got the job! I’m back! I listened to all of your lovely opinions, and went with my husband’s suit for the interview! I got compliments from the interviewers on my outfit, which was cool. So here’s to the new trend of wearing your husband’s suit!”
The image accompanying the post shows her looking effortlessly stylish in a chic ensemble of an oversized blue suit paired with a simple cream T-shirt and neutral loafers – a look that clearly impressed.
The post has since gone viral, amassing more than 50,000 views, while sparking widespread online debate about the impact of fashion choices on clinching the job offer. This prompted users to chime in with words of encouragement.
One admirer quipped: “Correction: you wore your suit that your husband incorrectly thought was his. WAY TO GO ON THE JOB!”
Another social media user commented: “I remember seeing your initial post asking about outfit options. As others said on that post, seriously, this outfit looks amazing on you.
“I would have guessed a different option you shared was the one that was your husband’s! Congrats on the new job! I hope it’s as great of a fit for you as the outfit is!”
A third also chimed in with: “I might need to bust out my husband’s suit and see how it looks! I have an interview next week.”
Meanwhile, a fourth added: “I wore my husband’s suit jacket for an interview at 38 weeks pregnant and got the job, lol.”
Usuallly, when people attend an interview they have all sorts of worries. From wanting to say the right thing, to how to present themselves to offering just the right amount of knowledge about a particular subject.
The worries are endless, and our nerves can take over, but maybe focusing on our fashion choices could help along the way. After all, nothing makes us feel more confident than a seriously good outfit.
Another person added: “Yes!!!! You looked perfect! I hated all the other people advice saying to not wear it. I thought it was 10/10 perfect, and not the traditional boring out of style outfits people wear.”
One more shared a personal success story, writing: “I just wore my husband’s clothes to an interview and also got offered a job! This is a hack no one knew existed!”
