I applied for one of the CA positions and the group assessment/interviews are this weekend. I was wondering what I should wear for it. Some people I've talked to said that you dont have to dress business formal, and that it's more a casual thing but it's still a job interview so I don't want to show up looking unprofessional or over dressed...

If anybody else knows or went to the "assessment centre" interviews just let me know!
Thanks!

omg.... it was SO FUN !!

it was actually more enjoyable than nerve racking. just wear whatever feels comfortable to you. Everyone is really nice. don't worry, just be yourself and you should do fine

So jeans and a nice top is okay. Just curious what do we actually do

They specifically said in an email to wear formal clothes, but I went to the interview wearing jeans and t shirt and still got accepted. so dont worry too much about the clothes

The group assessments are more casual. I would go for a casual outfit such as nice jeans and a nice top. The second set of interviews I would dress business casual.

Dress formally, like the email stated.

Yes, better to overdress than not. Slacks and a nice top should be fine, but you do not need a suit.

My interview is tomorrow and I'm feeling pretty nervous :(.

@Angoose Dont worry. It was actuall fun. Got to do team building excerises. interview wasnt bad. kinda weird but nice as you dont have to look them in the eye

Don't be nervous! I'm one of the CAs who'll be at the assessment centres tomorrow. They're really not stressful. Last year, we played a few ice-breakers at the beginning, and you go around in a small group with other applicants for the day, so you aren't alone!

I wore khakis, a dress shirt, and a casual blazer (can't remember if I wore a tie or not.. But I don't think it would stand out in any negative way to be a bit more dressy than others). When it comes down to it, it's about the kind of person you are. The CAs weren't told to assess based on clothing.

Ahaha, about not having to look them in the eye? What do you mean! haha. Oooh I think it'd be better to be overdressed than underdressed ofc. Blazer/dress-shirt sounds good!

the were busy writing down what you say, not always looking you in the eye, wihch is a little less intimidating. Just relax and have fun. Got a chance to meet some great people

Sounds good haha. Wonder what they'll end up asking.

never had a CA with a genuinely friendly personality, i guess everyone does it for the perks.

sigh... mcmaster

I was just wondering, part of being a CA means we get a room, but are we still forced to purchase a meal plan?
