interviews, are popular for employers because they focus on how candidates have
previously demonstrated specific skills and behaviours at work.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">The competency interview approach is based on the premise
that a candidate's past behaviour is the best predictor of future performance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">But why introduce a competency based interview format into my recruitment process?</span></h3>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial;">There are several reasons why competency-based interviews
are considered the best route to take:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO_sIzscHTczi-PG7HoWYWuDJfsBNDtKTI5GEg6TrfbQUk5KrkWqmxmFC28756go9-dfJ9Qobz3DP9dEQGDBqHlfzlx8rjLxGzrQS7BzhzvMmSFlQxr75A1h7GieraDB5UK3tK5Gu-SzFLAiqofJCIDF-Nu_jUD_AjKIr7qVq7Q2azxwBvu9bSWDYM/s1080/Competency%20Interviewing%20(1).png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a></div><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -18pt;">They provide a consistent and structured
approach to interviewing:</b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> Competency-based interviews follow a
predetermined set of questions designed to assess specific skills and
behaviours. This makes it easier for employers to compare candidates and make
more informed hiring decisions.<br /><br /></span></span><span style="clear: right; float: right; font-family: arial; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1080" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiO_sIzscHTczi-PG7HoWYWuDJfsBNDtKTI5GEg6TrfbQUk5KrkWqmxmFC28756go9-dfJ9Qobz3DP9dEQGDBqHlfzlx8rjLxGzrQS7BzhzvMmSFlQxr75A1h7GieraDB5UK3tK5Gu-SzFLAiqofJCIDF-Nu_jUD_AjKIr7qVq7Q2azxwBvu9bSWDYM/w320-h320/Competency%20Interviewing%20(1).png" width="320" /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -18pt;">They focus on real-life examples:</b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> Competency-based
interviews ask candidates to provide specific examples of how they have
demonstrated skills and behaviours in their careers. This allows the employer to
get a better sense of the candidate's actual capabilities.<br /><br /></span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -18pt;">They assess a range of skills:</b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">
Competency-based interviews are designed to assess various skills, including
problem-solving, communication, leadership, and teamwork. This allows employers
to get a well-rounded view of the candidate to determine their fit for the role
and the company.<br /><br /></span></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -18pt;">They reduce bias:</b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> Because
competency-based interviews follow a predetermined set of questions and focus
on specific skills and behaviours, they can help reduce bias in the hiring
process. This is especially important for ensuring diversity and inclusion in
the workplace.<br /></span><br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family: arial;"><b style="text-indent: -18pt;">They can lead to better job performance:</b><span style="text-indent: -18pt;"> Competency-based
interviews can help identify candidates with proven track records of success in
similar roles by focusing on past behaviours. This can lead to better job
performance and increased productivity for the company.</span></span></li></ol><p></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -18pt;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

According
to CIPD research, over half of hiring decisions are taken for reasons that
cannot be tangibly explained. This is usually
a ‘gut feeling’; while important, you must ensure that you have a process to
remove all bias from your decisions.<o:p></o:p><p></p>

you can’t go wrong with ‘suited and booted’!
However, post-COVID, most businesses have generally become more relaxed, and ties seem to have almost disappeared. We’ve
even had a candidate rejected from a SaaS firm as they wore a three-piece suit
and were considered too formal for their laid-back culture.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So we’re regularly asked what to wear to a sales interview. In response, we’ve created a comprehensive
guide on what to wear to a sales interview in the post-COVID era. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This guide covers everything from the appropriate outfit to
wear to a sales interview and how to dress appropriately in a video interview
setting. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We know that the job market has changed drastically due to
the pandemic. Our guide is designed to
help you make a great first impression in the post-Covid era. From the right accessories to the appropriate
shoes and dress, our guide will ensure that you’re well-prepared for your sales
interview – either virtual or face-to-face.<o:p></o:p></p>

It is a structured process which uses a series of probing questions to reveal a candidate's true potential, performance history and career objectives. </span></p><span style="font-family: arial;">The Topgrading interview begins with an initial phone interview used to assess the candidate's qualifications, experience and interests. The second stage is a face-to-face interview used to explore the candidate's background further and delve into their motivations, goals and objectives. During the face-to-face interview, the interviewer will use the Topgrading methodology to further assess the candidate's answers, analyse their behaviour, and assess their performance. <br /><br />The Topgrading interview process is comprehensive, robust and detailed. It is a great way to ensure that the best possible candidates are selected for the job. It not only helps employers find the best candidate, but also helps them to make sure that the candidate is a good fit for the organisation and its culture. <br /><br />Overall, the Topgrading interview technique is an excellent way for employers to select the best candidates for the job.

I don't like them, but shoved under my nose (or a burger lid), I will eat them, mildly grimace, and continue eating them anyway. </span></p><p style="text-align: left;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">That's how I feel about The Apprentice in 2022. I have disliked it for about five series yet watched them all. I vowed to never watch it again, yet kind of missed it last year. And, within the first<i> 'durhh, durhh, durhh's'</i> and LorSugar's smirk of pride with his new pandemic-themed one-liners, I knew I would be handing my Thursday nights to BBC1. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The UK is desperate for a new business programme. In the early years you could learn something from The Apprentice and Dragon's Den, but they are now firmly in the 'light entertainment' genre. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">While it won't get 6M+ viewers, I believe an 'Apprentice-style' programme, following teams of aspirational entrepreneurs with some seed funding over a series of weeks would work. Over the series you could watch them create ideas, breathe life into them, generate the brand, do market research, and then pitch for investment. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Yes, I agree it's BBC2 stuff and not so much fun. However, mentored by credible and critical expertise that help the contestants and perhaps other viewing budding entrepreneurs, it could genuinely help people 'go their own way'. Just a thought.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">I guess the BBC needed to hit hard to get the ratings for Episode One, but I think the fan favourite, ‘The marketing task', was wasted. The result was a symphony of noise as the clash of egos shouted over each other, while scoring points on the camera to use in the boardroom. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Both teams were poor, as they always are in the first five episodes. There was zero influencing, negotiation, and collaboration…. I'm convinced they're edited to be this way. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Just a sideline; if the contestants consider themselves to be the greatest emerging business brains in the country, why didn't they begin formalising ideas in the limo on the two-hour drive down to Portsmouth? They'd already been briefed that it was 'the marketing task'. And, it was on a cruise ship. Surely, they could have nailed the concept, name and some brand ideas before reaching the Hampshire border?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So, what did we learn:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-align: left; text-indent: -18pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;"><!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Symbol; mso-fareast-font-family: Symbol;">·<span style="font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><!--[endif]-->“No = next opportunity”.

opening a new branch in Edinburgh to serve Scotland and the North East of
England.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Opening on Tuesday 6<sup>th</sup>
April, the brand will be staffed by our excellent Senior Consultant, Hannah
Gateley, who is returning to her hometown.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">The branch </span><span style="font-family: arial;">is
based in the Clockwork Office in Leith.</span></p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Our Senior
Recruitment Consultant, Hannah, says: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Joining Aaron
Wallis just over two years ago was easily the best career decision I have ever
made! I’ve learned so much about a wide variety of industries, built fantastic relationships
with both clients and candidates and am part of the funniest, strangest and
most supportive team. I’m now so excited to be opening our first Scottish
branch in my hometown of Edinburgh so that we can dedicate more of our
expertise to our clients in Scotland. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-7xY51jGHyyXJYYXvTHkQ7HE8BqSlt2dX5bjFs5q-b3N9q5cc7l2DpZVsOBqxAqulCoyCH12xkEkj3OgJGRMsxXhlWlDHOr10jIIquSAR36k9ZcEYX4TPeiJkMu3n6gEoaJc9zQLukw/s940/The-shore-Leith-from-Canva.png" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="788" data-original-width="940" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQ-7xY51jGHyyXJYYXvTHkQ7HE8BqSlt2dX5bjFs5q-b3N9q5cc7l2DpZVsOBqxAqulCoyCH12xkEkj3OgJGRMsxXhlWlDHOr10jIIquSAR36k9ZcEYX4TPeiJkMu3n6gEoaJc9zQLukw/s320/The-shore-Leith-from-Canva.png" width="320" /></a><span style="font-family: arial;"></span><span style="font-family: arial;">Since joining
Aaron Wallis in January 2019, I’m proud to say I’ve placed over 90 candidates
in sales roles that vary from entry-level telesales all the way up to sales
director level. I’ve successfully partnered with companies in industries
ranging from software firms, engineering, hospitality, FMCG and tech (to name a
few!). Bringing our unique sales recruitment service to Scotland certainly
feels like a logical next step, and in two short weeks, I’ll be opening the
doors to our newest office. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">Based at the
bottom of Leith Walk and right next to the shore, <a href="https://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/contact/sales-recruitment-agency-edinburgh.aspx">Aaron
Wallis Sales and Marketing Recruitment Edinburgh</a> is situated in the
stylish, laid back and modern Clockwise offices. This trendy spot is surrounded
by fantastic coffee shops, great bars, and brilliant spots to grab some lunch.
With Mimi’s Bakery just around the corner, I expect I will become quickly
become a regular...thankfully, there is a gym nearby too! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">While the
coffee and cake are definitely a selling point, the best part of our Leith
office is really the ability it gives me to meet with my clients. I take pride
in understanding my client’s business, team, and long-term goals to find them
their perfect candidate. We have access to large meeting rooms where I’ll be
able host these initial meetings, and our location means we are central and
easy to find. For clients based elsewhere in Scotland, I am always happy to
arrange a meeting at their premises or via Teams or Zoom (we’re all getting
quite good at virtual meetings these days!). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">From this great
location, I’ll also be able to support clients who need a little extra help
with interviewing. Our meeting rooms can be booked for a whole day’s worth of
interviews, and I’m always happy to sit in, offer advice and take the reigns
wherever needed! I’ll also treat the first client to book on-premise interviews
to a delicious lunch from one of the great spots nearby. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 105%; margin-bottom: 8pt;"><span style="font-family: arial;">My goal is
really to make Aaron Wallis the number one <a href="https://www.aaronwallis.co.uk/">Scottish sales recruitment agency</a>! I
can’t wait to get started and bring our unique and outstanding service back
home.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Criticism is easy…..</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a citizen of one of the richest countries on Earth, I
consider myself extremely fortunate.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, I am far from the first to consider that over the
last decade or two, we have increasingly implemented our own, voluntary “social
distancing”, through the myriad forms of social media we adopt.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are many positive societal effects that these
platforms deliver.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Crowd Funding and the
recent minutes applause for the efforts of the NHS are unprecedented, positive
outcomes that would have been impossible to choreograph in previous
generations.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Currently, social platforms are playing a vital role in
ensuring that everyone can maintain critical links with friends, colleagues and
loved ones.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Speaking as someone who has
seen no-one in person, including my kids, for ten days, I can attest to the
value of that!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the same time, it is hard to deny that they also create
less desirable by-products….. The obvious, such as cyberbullying and trolling,
online hate crimes and the proliferation of extremist ideologies of all
types.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As well as less obvious, but
equally pervasive issues, such as inculcating the necessity for instant
gratification, or the requirement for constant attention, approval and feedback
regarding the minutiae of daily life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>There is also the apparent increase in social anxiety and in some the sense
of relative deprivation, due to the onslaught of information regarding everyone
else’s apparently perfect existences…..<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Online consumerism has irrevocably affected traditional
retail and the human interaction it generates, as well as the economic and
personal hardships that have accompanied the decline of that sector.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My social skills have certainly suffered as my default mode
of interaction has become virtual….. undoubtedly I spend more time alone in
willing and voluntary isolation than was never my intention, but it is the
outcome nonetheless.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has been alarming (and also liberating) to witness how
quickly all the things we consider immutable and vital to our existence have
dropped away in the space of a few short weeks…. Yet the Sun is still shining,
the bees are buzzing and as artificial constructs are hibernating, the natural
world is springing back to life.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In light of this and the devastation the current situation
is wreaking upon so many, let’s hope that when this passes the entitled will
feel a little less so and we can all reset our compasses in line with what
really matters….. as opposed to what truly doesn’t.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div style="background-color: white;">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">If someone had told me they were self-isolating two months ago, I
would have thought it was an excuse for an extended holiday!</span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"> </span><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">However, today it's more common than hearing
'I'm making a cup of tea'.</span></div>
</div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">It's only been a couple of weeks for my colleagues and me, but I
already feel like I'm going stir crazy and miss the routine (and office banter)
that we use to take for granted. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">So, how can we cope better with this temporary new way of life
and remain positive, with a healthy body and mind? <br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<strong><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">Structure and new routines<o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<strong><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">If you're like me, then structure
and routine keep us fighting fit and mentally sharp.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, I have continued to keep the structure in
my day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For example, I get up at the
same time every day, start and finish work at the same time every day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I shower, eat lunch, exercise, take breaks, check-in
with colleagues, ring my mother and other family members at pretty much the
same time every day. <o:p></o:p></span></strong></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<strong><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt; font-weight: normal;">I, like most, can be very distracted
whilst working from home, so if I stick to a structure, I'm less likely to be
eating chocolate whilst watching Netflix sprawled out on the sofa.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We can enjoy such activities of an evening and
at weekends - roll on Saturday!</span></strong><b><span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white;">
<span face=""arial" , sans-serif" style="color: #222222; font-size: 10pt;">I've only been practising my new routine for a couple of weeks,
but already it feels 'normal'.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>

of my day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It really doesn't matter if
that hour is spent walking, running, cycling but always try and make that
activity outside.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Come rain, sun, hail
or snow get out and get some fresh air.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>For me, this is just as important for the mind as it is the body.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If for whatever reason you can't make it outside,
then choose a workout at home/office.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I've reorganised the office using some light weights, chairs and desks
to create a mini exercise circuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">1. Make sure you have fresh air and exercise</span></h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /> It can be challenging to make sure you get the exercise that your body needs when you have a comfy sofa together with a lack of desire to get out for a run, walk or bike ride! Whether it be a lunchtime walk with the dog or a morning run, it’s essential to have these activities in the day to help stimulate the mind, keep your fitness levels up and get plenty of Vitamin D. <br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">2. Prepare meals when you can</span></h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br /> This is a great way to ensure you’re eating fresh and healthy food, planning variation to your diet, and saving yourself time. Always a good idea on a Sunday evening to get your meals organised for the week ahead, this will also prevent you from finding a ‘quick fix’ from the cupboards… <br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">3. Drink lots of water</span></h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br />Sounds simple but very important! Staying hydrated will prevent headaches, tiredness and slow brain function, giving you the energy, you need to keep fit and healthy.<br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">4. Make sure you get a good night’s sleep</span></h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br />Getting enough sleep at night is essential to allow your body to work on maintaining your physical health and brain function. Having a positive impact on your concentration and productivity.<br /></span><br />
<h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif" style="font-size: small;">5. Stick to a routine</span></h3>
<span face=""arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif"><br />It is imperative to have a plan when working from home as it will help with all the above! It will keep you motivated and remind you of everything you need to do to stay healthy in the day. Make sure you have a routine with meals, exercise and work. A routine will help you develop the healthy habits you need to stay in tip-top shape!</span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><br />
The most common dress code in today’s climate seems to be ‘smart-casual’. When
what you wear has a big impact on your confidence and productivity, it’s
clearly important to get it right! How well do you understand what smart-casual
means? Today we’re undressing it!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Smart Casual for Men</span></b><span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Smart casual menswear
gives men a lot of freedom to use different colours and fabrics all year round
to match the weather! Here are some options: <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">When it comes to smart
casual for men, you can’t go wrong with a smart shirt and chinos. Chinos are a
great fabric for comfort and breathability but are tailored enough to ensure a
smart and professional first impression. Dress this outfit up with watches and
simple jewellery. Boat shoes are a good match for this look.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">This look definitely
sits at the more casual end of the spectrum. Tee shirt or polo shirt fabric
paired with tailored or skinny jeans in formal colours such as black, navy and
grey are also safe casual wear options. As long as you avoid ripped jeans, blue
jeans and bright coloured tops, this is a smart and respectable look!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">Sticking with jeans,
this smart casual look includes layering and accessories, and whilst it takes
liberties in some areas such as the sports trainers, it dresses up in other
ways with the blazer jacket. This complicated smart casual attire can be broken
down into tailored jeans and a colourful suit jacket to match the trainers over
a simple white tee shirt. Practical, colourful, but definitely smart
casual! </span></div>

Pair a shirt and monotone jumpers work with tailored jeans or chinos and accessorise to show a little personality. Check your company policy on hats and jewellery but definitely prioritise a smart watch and either a bold tie or bow tie. </span></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman" , "serif"; font-size: 13.5pt;">For a more casual
outfit, try wearing jeans, a monochrome tee shirt and a cardigan. Much like the
men’s casual outfit choice, this look depends on monochrome colouring but super
simple fashion pieces. Dress this look up with accessories such as necklaces,
bracelets and watches and you’ll have achieved the right balance!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">When it comes to
dressing smart casual for women, we recommend you acknowledge the two key
elements, of which you always have to achieve one – formal pattern and colour
and/or traditional silhouette.</span></div>
