I'm about to start a new job at an engineering firm, we'll all be working from home. what would you recommend wearing?

[@tsemayekekema2918]

In America, is it acceptable to go work daily (investment banking internships) dressed formal with a shirt & tie WITHOUT a suit jacket?

[@HomeboyHotel]

Very good video. I would also add - 1) Tie knot is important (stick to windsor), check your tie length. No skinny ties either. 2) Iron your shirt 3) Don’t forget deodorant and a fresh (not heavy) aftershave like Ralph Blue or Davidoff Cool Water 4) For suits, don’t be afraid to get things adjusted like the bottom of trousers - that 5% makes a huge difference to the appearance and fit

[@AfzalHussein]

Thanks a lot! Great additions :)

[@780tman]

Contrast collar shirts cuff links and slicked back hair

[@Peakprospr420]

Afzal what number do you do on your beard because i want that sort of length

[@897shadow]

Thank you so much for these videos, they actually make a difference and I hope you keeping videos for us to learn from:’) And what about a 3 piece suit ?

[@AfzalHussein]

Thank you for your kind feedback. Three piece suits seem a little too much in my personal opinion.

[@LuisReyes-rm9gh]

do a video about insight weeks please.

[@AfzalHussein]

Will do :) What about them, specifically?

[@MMmm-bg9li]

Afzal Hussein yes please! I’m only going into my first year this fall so it would be amazing if you could do a comprehensive review of them.

[@stefanazcarate7914]

You essentially just attend and listen to upper level executives, tour the firm, and learn about what they have to offer

[@tobedest5326]

hey mate, I love your videos.. very insightful. I literally watched about 30 videos from you in the last few days, so keep up the good work. Yet I have one question on that topic. How about coats over the suit? Should I wear no coat, which collar, may depending on weather? Thanks in advance

[@keshavarzpour]

thanks for the tips, but I have one questions , beside the suit, as matter of shirt, wearing a formal mandarin collar(banded) white shirt(similar to the one that you have wear yourself in your other videos) for banking interview is a bad idea ? is it a must to go with normal shirt folding collar ?

[@adsads123ify]

Thanks a lot! Could you make a video about the best way to prepare for an entry level job at an investment banking department as well Afzal?

[@AfzalHussein]

Sure, will do!

[@vincentnguyen6833]

Great video! Can you make a video on how to network?

[@ayushbhatia9974]

Much needed @Afzal Hussein

[@AfzalHussein]

Coming up in the next few weeks! :)

[@arrrhaitch4563]

Hey great tips! Just wondered what’s your opinion on someone who has a lengthy beard (not too long) for religious purposes, cheers.

[@zoesmith1536]

Love your shirt. Very nice 👌 and goes well with you.

[@victorblanc9360]

What kind of briefcases do you recommend for an interview?

[@AndrewL31413]

I have a IWC watch my dad past down to me for graduation. It has sentimental value and I feel great with it. I heard someone say I should not be wearing a nice watch for an entry level job it's worth around 10k so nothing too crazy. I would like to wear it, but would I be judged in a negative way?

[@freddiemacgregor2956]

mate, wear the watch! that's epic!

[@AfzalHussein]

I'd wear it so long as it's not too flashy and loud.

[@orlandolindsay1555]

Hi, I have an assessment centre in a couple of days and the dress code is "smart casual", I assume a shirt, plain trousers and smart shoes?

[@armageddonleonidas1659]

What about beards?

[@sarthakgoyal3252]

Hi Afzal Would you recommend the same dress code for a video conferencing interview as well?

[@AfzalHussein]

Yep! Treat a video interview like a real interview. Dress up for it :)

[@matteo7816]

Thank you for the video, very informative as always. One question: When I was 14 I got a small ear piercings on my left ear. I have not been wearing it for many years, but if you look closer you can still see this small cut (4-5mm) on the lobe. What do you think about it? Should I get a surgery and hide it?

[@AfzalHussein]

Hey Matteo, thanks for being part of the channel. Your feedback is much appreciated. Please don't go and get surgery! No need! Your ear piercing really is a non-issue so don't worry about it :)

[@vootkurikranthikumar2362]

sir i have black blzaer should i wear it better dont wear any blazer?

[@jeffreyadu7019]

hi What if you are supposed to wear something smart casual?

[@cr3561]

Would Suede loafers with a suit be a problem?

[@lbj9264]

Hello Afzal, I'm organizing a conference in my business school (top 5 in France), and my finance club would love to discuss with you about it. Maybe you could develop a new network in France? Please answer it :) . Btw, great video !

[@Ubebujyvrfwihe]

I quite like a charcoal grey suit, a bit more professional, just my opinion! Enjoying the info on this channel and I think you are filling in, what is a very big gap in the KZbin space.

[@AfzalHussein]

Fair play. Thanks for the kind feedback. Means a lot :)

[@allen70272]

are brown leather shoes ok?

[@oliogun5241]

Do you need to wear a watch to the interview. And if you don't will it stop you from getting the job role

[@AfzalHussein]

You do not need to wear a watch to any interview. Not wearing a watch will definitely not prevent you from securing an offer.

[@oliogun5241]

Thanks for the reply

[@MegaMsc123]

Oli Ogun ...

[@AfzalHussein]

No probs! :)

[@hakim2546]

Where the best place to buy suits

[@yellowdog2359]

John Das Gucci or Hugo boss

[@AfzalHussein]

Don't worry about the 'best' place. Explore a few reasonably priced (within your budget) shops and go for one that has clothes that look good and feel comfortable on you. Key is to be presentable and comfortable. Don't worry about labels and fancy stuff.

[@ksd2105]

“why would you wear a watch that isn’t working ?”😂😂

[@dondraper8181]

What about a pocket square? Clean and simple white, just a hint showing above the pocket, nothing fancy ok?

[@nanamuco7460]

Afzal Do you really have to wear high heels as a female? Cause I’m pretty tall and I would look I just got just drafted to WNBA 😬. And I hate high heels

[@AfzalHussein]

A lot of women wear flats in and around the office. Some wear heels. But most often heels are worn to meetings.

[@niror9982]

Hey bro, I'm a man and I have my ears pierced. Should I take my earrings out for the interview or wear small earrings etc? What would your advice be? Looking forward for your response! :)

[@AfzalHussein]

Hey! Self expression is important. Just be sure to dress appropriately for the interview. So, for example, feel free to wear thr earrings but be sure they're not too loud and that they look professional. Hope that helps :)

[@stillkingcam]

How do investment banks feel about tattoos?

[@AfzalHussein]

It's down to the individual interviewing you really. My rule is, if unsure, be extra cautious.

[@krishnarana9459]

I need a help regarding Investment banker. I from india in Gujarat state.

[@AfzalHussein]

What would you like to know?

[@Thewinner312]

Now I am really worried about banks. Oh god, these people have my money!!! And all they do is worry if a checkered button-up shirt with their suit might be too extravagant...

[@josephs3169]

You're irrational, and there is a different between investment bankers and those whom manage your capital.

[@EfficientTutorials]

ur an idiot max

[@mh9491]

[@LifeOfTheParty323]
