"Cycling" interview... Dresscode?

[Claudia]

There's always the lingerie-based approach of the Harrogate Cappuccino Cycling Club: (nsfw)

it was taking too long, indeed...

I would assume dress smart but I have never had an interview for a role like that, anyway good luck

which Decathalon are you going to?
Once you have the job you can start stealing bikes one piece at a time, and then rebuilding them at home, a bit like Johnny Cash did!

Surrey Quays.

there's one of the reasons why I applied for the job! I already have a triban 3 but that triban 5 looks even better...

I like Surrey Quay's Decathalon, you get two shops for the price of one. I've bought a couple of bikes from there, and still have my old lime green MTB that I bought in 2001. Even though I'm only interested in the bike stuff, I cant help myself from going into the second shop to look at all their other stuff that I know I dont need.

well, it is to work at a sports shop. should I wear heels and loads of makeup then? I'll be the perfect fit.

I am a 6'2 " bearded male - it would definitely NOT work for me!

Depends upon the post.... if there is a chance that you will be going to meetings, mixing with the public etc, then smart is the way to go.

tell me about it! I spend hours in there. decathlon and Ikea are the only two places where I actually enjoy shopping and am never in a rush. I like everything! even when I go to France to see my mum, she knows the first stop on the way back from the airport is at her local decathlon. I just love the place and everything about it!
so it would probably be the best place for me to get a job at.

Did Jonny Cash work at Decathlon? I never knew that.

thanks! it will be a bit of a commute for me but it is well worth it! and I won't have to get up at stupid o'clock either. (this, IF I get it...)

Oh, and best of luck for your interview.
Say hi to Mr Cash.

yes, he was a big fan of the Triban 3.
In case no one got my vague reference here's the original song.

Sure, go into the interview nicely turned out, the advice above is good - but I'd say definitely trousers for a job on a huge sales floor like decathlon - pressed shirt etc, but if you can transmit to them the honest enthusiasm displayed above, then the job is yours. They have a large recruitment need, and there can't be that many people who love decathlon like you do.
