Yes, although for professional technical positions, even at MNC, and I'm talking grad and post-grad positions here, I've seen more people being tie-less, just long-sleeve and business pants.

 

You may be able to get away without a tie for technical positions, but even then, if it's senior management in the interview panel, then better to wear. It'd be odd if they are in suit or jacket with tie, and here you are, being very casual [laugh]

 

I've always worn a tie, even though it feels constricting. Some people claim to be more relaxed, tie-less, so can think better and speak better at interview. But I think you should be prepared (rehearsed) for any interview, so don't need to think much. Speaking for myself, if I was relaxed and give answers on the spot for my previous interviews... I think cannot get the job lah... [laugh]

 

So, conclusion, better to wear a tie.

imagine going for an interview for dish washer and wear suit with tie.........

 

:D :D :D

 

I recall working with a cleanroom assistant engineer who wore tie, even though he had to don cleanroom suit daily for some time, checking up on the techs and machines, troubleshooting, etc.

 

Later I learnt that it was a japanese practise, i.e. engineer level already have to wear tie and jacket to work, and they keep it on in the office as well as cleanroom.

What wear is what image u want to project to your potential employer...

 

But then, when you get the job, start the job, don't wear tie... is it equivalent to false advertising?? [laugh]

Yes, should wear tie for interview...unless is for junior lab tech positions, then maybe no need...for accountants and positions in HR, still need to wear tie for interview even if its entry level position..

I think bothering to wear a tie helps to portray an image that you can be bothered to dress up and that you are serious about the interview.

 

Wear a tie.
