Interview Time - SV650.org

If you are going for a new job interview in the city, would you go on your bike, or for the day take the train?

Me ive never had to take a formal interview in my life nor a city job, so it a tad odd and new for me.

I might go on mine, not sure about yours though

took the tube/bus, suited and booted, leaving bike gear in office.

But then my interview was at 2.30pm

Allow plenty of time though. But at least you wont have the hassle of all your bike gear and what to do with it outside the interview room.

Take the train that way your suit doesn't get crumpled and you don't have to worry about finding a parking space. Just allow extra time for our wonderful rail service!!!!

I would advise taking the train. Some people have weird idea's about bikers and you don't want to scare them off.

I'd take the train.
I had 4 interviews last year. 3 I went by bike and one a I took the girlfriends car. Got the job when I went by car and looked a bit more average person.
Lucky he didn't see the pink corsa...

I got my job by going for my first and second interview by bike.

I've got jobs when I've been to the interview by bike and worn leathers.

The one exception was a job with a company that I used to work for. My old boss wanted me back. I had to ride into work immediately after the interview (about 50 miles away), so went in my leathers. There was an arsy girl from HR in the interview who took exception to the leathers - even though I explained that I had to use the bike to get to my current job. Even though he wanted me, the cow vetoed it.

Later on, he offered me a different job. I dressed smartly for the interview, but this time he didn't invite HR!

Depends on the job.If it's a snotty job in a snotty company best go by train.If it's a job despatch riding,a bike would be a bonus,but proper leathers would be over the top.

I've been to interviews on my bike. I have had a suit on under my textiles. I just made sure I get there extra early and asked the receptionist if there was anywhere that I could change.

I left all my gear with the receptionist and went in for the interview. I got the job.
