Drive or Ride?
 

In 2 weeks time I have an interview for a placement year with Triumph (at there head office). Now the dilemma, do I ride up and have to change out of my leathers (which could cause an issue given the numbers attending) or do I drive up and risk getting stuck in traffic.

The commute to the interview is roughly 125 miles so I cant ride over in a suite n bike jacket, would have to be leathers.
I remember Amanda's thread on this for her interview with HG, but remember it being inconclusive on opinions.

So what do you reckon?

Cheers
Dan

Do the interview with your leathers, gloves, boots and helmet still on...you'll stand out from the corwd...and they'll think their hiring stigs biking brother.

I'd drive. Air-con, no creased suit. Just leave plenty of time.

If its the motorbike company Ride.

If its the underwear company, it doesn't matter what you wear that jobs mine!

Got get the hire of a street triple to complete the look :d

If you were the employer how would you like the candidates to look?
Smart and clean or dirty and disheveled.
As an ex-employer I would prefer the former but it all depends how desperate you are for the job.

Drive. You'll just look a mess to them if your suit is crumpled, helmet hair etc.
Just put in your C.V. that you enjoy motorcycling :p

I would drive and leave time - First impressions count and remeber that they are looking for professionalism and a person that will represent the company to both motorcycling and non motorcycling partners. They need to know that you can do this in the blink of an eye. Knowing that you ride motorbikes can be a topic of discussion and they may be surprised at why you chose to drive rather than ride thus sparking a conversation around representing the company in a good light and recognition that not everyone rides etc etc

Ride the night before and stay in a b and b for the night.

+1, then you've got plenty of time to get ready in the morning and then there's less stress on you getting there on time.

You'll feel better and will interview better
