College Interviews - Dress Code (1 Viewer)

[hjed]

Hi

I got offered an interview at the Kensigton Colleges and I was wondering if anyone knew what type of dress code it was for interviews. Like is it very formal suite and tie, or would a short sleeve button up shirt be ok?
I might be doing the interview over Skype.

Thanks for any help

I'm a girl so I didn't wear a suit to mine obviously but I would say more casual than a formal suit and tie. For mine at a USYD college I wore black pants (not jeans), slightly heeled ankles boots, a nice top and a blazer, and I got in. Something like you would wear to maybe a sibling's graduation or something?

Thanks for the info!

Hey,

How long were you references that you two referees wrote?

Good luck the interview!

Thanks.

My principal wrote me just under an A4 page and my personal reference wrote about 2/3 of an A4 page. Both had a lot of spacing though. (Nb. I didn't specify a length I just asked them if you would write me a reference.)

Great, thanks! After you submitted your online application, how long did it take until you were offered an interview?

About two weeks from when I submitted to when they sent the interview offer.
But then you have send them preferences for when you want your interview (stage I'm at), before actually getting a date for it.

Formal shoes

Long Sleeve Button Up Shirt

Wouldn't worry about the tie or jacket.
