I saw part 2!

I'm busy trying to get stuff done. I am woefully behind on my Big Band art. And let's not forget that I am still trying to write the perfect CV and cover letters! Once that is done I have a bunch of jobs lined up to apply for. (So far no responses from the 16 I have applied to so far except for one negative one

For interviews, what to wear depends on the job. But you can't usually go wrong with a suit (either with trousers or a skirt).

Percy was definitely in the film, I saw him! I agree with the WTFness though. And I was very disappointed indeed with the final Harry/Voldy showdown - been waiting for that for ten years and it was just WRONG!

Gah! A friend insists trousers are they way to go, but I always feel far better dressed in skirts and dresses. I have wide hips and a relatively narrow waist which makes finding trousers besides jeans difficult.

A suit! A suit is soo not me. I'm like dressing bright and casual and far younger than my age. I hate having to dress all serious and stuff. Bleurgh! I am an architect not an accountant, wouldn't dressing too conservative actually be a bad thing in my line of work? Being imaginative and having a flair for designs are musts!

i think I might have spied a red-head in passing who could have been Percy, but where was the big tearful reunion? It was all a bit blink and you miss it.

I think they completely missed the point with the final battle. After all the speechifying the actual battle was supposed to be swift and sudden. And Harry was supposed to only use an Expeliarmus! Have I been reading too much fanfiction?

Well, you'll notice I *did* say that it depends on the job! But in general the accepted convention is that you dress more 'seriously' for an interview than for the job itself. You can be imaginative *and* appear serious! And in any case they'll be looking for imagination and design flair etc. in your portfolio etc. rather than in what you wear on the day.

The danger with dressing more informally is that the people interviewing you may not all be designers, and they (particularly managers) expect a certain amount of formality. I stand by my claim that you can't go wrong with a suit for the interview - I wouldn't recommend you wear it again if you get the job though!

I was disappointed at the lack of a Weasley reunion, but even more so at the travesty that was the final showdown!

Managers, bleurgh! (I hope you're not one!)

I see your point about suits, but I have never owned one in my life! And I'm not sure I'd be able to pull one off. Don't they cost a lot?

Yup, I'm the one that said, trousers, skirt, & dress (no mini sundress allowed). And I didn't mean that you should wear them all together! LOL
I agree with

It's near impossible to find good fabric trousers if you're not super thin! They show up all the bumps and stuff normal women have, plus they make your bottom look way bigger than it is - as you pointed out. That's why I usually stick to jeans. The only non-jeans I have ever bought were expensive one-offs that somehow managed to to be too bad. (But they did have back pockets.)
