Get the right outfit for your interview - lets shop...

TopShop/TopMan 214 Oxford Circus, W1 (020) 7636 7700 - first job/first court appearance style suits for the boys. A decent line in classy clobber and straight-to-the-shop catwalk copies for girls.

The likes of Oasis, Marks & Spencer, Warehouse, Austin Reed, The Suit Company and Karen Millen are all also good contenders for smart clothes at job-hunting prices.

Harvey Nichols 109-125 Knightsbridge, SW1 (020) 7235 5000 - price tags from hell but if you need to dress to seriously impress, this is the place for you. Check out straight-off-the-catwalk-fashion and eat, 'ladies who lunch' style, on the fifth floor.

Selfridges 400 Oxford St, W1 (020) 7629 1234 - Realistic shopping, they've got designer stuff, but they've put it upstairs where it belongs. You'll find a vast array of smart attire, perfect interview chic.

Burro 29 Floral St, WC2 (020) 7379 6866 - One for the boys. Colourful, stylish, casual clobber - for men who don't think shopping's for wimps. And plenty of cool, smart stuff to boot.

Roxanne 145 Stroud Green Rd, N4 (020) 7263 1321 - Bit of a bizarre one, but worth the trek for the impressive secret stash of discounted French Connection clobber.

Laden Showrooms 103 Brick Lane, E1 (020) 7247 0787 - if you're being interviewed for a job in the meedja or some other arty emploi get yourself here sharpish for Spitalfields young designer stuff.

Last thing Remember to take a pen, notebook, copy of your CV and all sorts of other practical things. Oh, and turn up on time, or even early.
