Casual vs Dress interview

To be completely honest, I haven't accomplished much with casual. I generally try to present me as they would meet in the office every day. This didn't do the trick so I'm going to have a dress ... I'd rather stay away from the tie, but I've been specifically instructed to get one. I should practice with it...

For interviews it is always a full suite for me. Your appearance is the first thing that they see, you want to give the most professional image possible.

Remember to mark someones post as helpful if you found it so.

Go naked. They'll know you think outside the box and are well capable of handling unexpected problems. It will also help them to maintain eye contact.

Carry a briefcase or laptop bag so when you produce a pen to fill out forms or do tests they won't think you're creepy. It also looks more professional.

Thanks for the mental image friend.
Dress up. You don't have to wear a full business suit. A long-sleeve shirt and a tie is good enough for game industry.
Don't wear a tie. Dress up slightly but be comfortable because depending on the type of interview you might be up at a white board for multiple hours.
Speedos.

Speedos.


Just say putting on clothes took too long, so you optimized them out. You could probably mention it's a multi-threaded speedo too.

Interviewer: Really? What's the thread count?
You: 800
Interviewer: Nice! Can you start Monday?
