    Dorothy Perkins - assessment interview after telephone interview.
    Hey. So i had a telephone interview from Dorothy Perkins, the lady then told me that she was impressed with my answers, and i was asked back for an assessment interview/group interview at the club Tiger Tiger in London.

    Has anyone ever been to one of these that could give me advice/tips on what is asked? Also their website says, 'We’re a fashion company so don’t worry about dressing formally; just make sure you express yourself in a way you feel is appropriate.' - Would a blazer, smart top and jeans and flats be something you'd think was appropriate or are the jeans too casual?
    Would really appreciate help as this is a first time interview for me!!
    Thanks!!

    I think a well fitting, non faded pair of jeans would be fine - just as long as you give off an impression that you pride yourself on your appearance

    Other than that - sounds lovely, good luck!

    Thank you!! Do you think flats or heels would be a better choice? x

    Probably flats - best guide to what to wear to an interview is something similar to what you might do the job in and heels would look a bit too dressy.

    Best to go on the safe side
