Styled by Susie #5 Susie takes a break, Gary is a fake, Sarah’s eyeliner is applied with a Cadbury’s flake

[Cerase]

I have been part of an interviewing panel. We give people points out of 5 for each question and task. The person with the most points get the job. Don’t think we have given points for outfit colour choice

I am an HR Director. I can confirm that candidates are assessed purely on their ability to do the job, the team/culture fit and never on what colour they wore when interviewed.

She is spouting a complete load of bollocks, as per usual.

Honestly she’s demented thinking this. Yes maybe in a room full of grey men in grey suits they may scoff at a pink blouse but imagine putting that into your recruitment & selection training ?!

Most men I interview with would definitely not notice the colour of a blouse. Actually neither would most women, it is that irrelevant.

It feels like such an outdated view. I've sat on countless interview panels and not once have I ever given a second thought to what the candidate is wearing. I am a senior manager in my (public sector) job and I wear a lot of pink (or I did, when I actually used to go into the office), and I really don't think it's harmed my career or had any real impact on how my colleagues view me.

In fact, my head of division used to wear bright pink tights, sparkly skirts and and whimsical scarves (often at the same time) and nobody batted an eyelid. She was bloody good at her job which is the ONLY thing that matters.

And would you want to work somewhere that viewed wearing pink as a bad thing? If I was her staff (sorry, team) I would be paranoid that she would be psychoanalysing my clothing choices now. She probably was anyway.

 

[Larde dar]

Blimey, my work uniform is bright pink.

When I have interviewed in the past I have never gone for the colour of the clothes over the person's suitability to do the job!

Seriously susie, what a load of old shite!

 

[Furloughedhousewife]

Her misinformation and views are as off as her personal style and customer after care .

 

[barryjones]

What bullshit am I reading? How about empower women to dress how they want in order to feel confident and therefore comfortable in an interview scenario?
I've interviewed loads of people and never ever thought 'ooh she's wearing pink, better not hire her'. bleeping backwards witches.

Not sure if I've ever seen Emily be as honest as to why she left SBS

Hm, she could have said that she wanted to work independently as she wanted to make her own decisions.

I don't think it is professional to throw shade at previous employers. You always get the chance to learn something and you get paid, too, so it is not as if there was no benefit at all, even if things ultimately did not work out.

I am not advocating for SBS, I just think this isn't necessary.

I don’t think it’s shade though, I saw it too and I thought it was a pretty objective description of what happened. If you had no idea what happened you’d simply think she had left ‘somewhere’ (because she doesn’t mention SBS) because she didn’t like the direction of where it was going and set up on her own. She’s allowed to talk about it, it happened to her. I think she’s been pretty dignified about it all tbh . As for not speaking badly of previous employers I think that only applies in job interviews.

This is exactly how I saw it. She isn’t throwing shade, just explaining how she ended up there. She doesn’t mention SBS at all. I’m the same when talking about a previous company I worked with, I don’t mention them by name, but I do speak disparaging about them as I didn’t agree with their conduct or direction.

 

[whathastheworldcometo]

I appreciate different points of views, but I see it differently. Especially in roles that require visibility candidates can be researched on their social media platforms or are often observed for a certain amount of time and it is not difficult to find out that she worked for SBS.

I don't see the value for the person asking the question in phrasing the answer that way, it is also possible to say what you wanted to "move towards to" (making their own decisions) rather than "moving away from" (certain decision making) but of course everyone is entitled to handle this according to their preference.

I get it, I wasn’t trying to start a fight or anything and I agree that people get searched on social media so you’d have to be careful what and how you say things.

As if it’s been a year this weekend since where it all began, with the big hype around the announcement and everyone wondering what it was, then Susie dressing up as Meryl Streep in the devil wears Prada to deliver her speech…and then…the rest is history.

And! Please can we talk about Sarah’s post from yesterday where she is now trying jumping awkwardly in her doorway and landing in a variety of ever more bizarre outfits. An evening dress with a jumper over it, a yellow summery skirt with knee high boots and a bomber jacket.. I’m not on board sorry..

Just looked!
I think she’s trying to be Carrie from SATC quirky but is failing miserably.

I feel like Susie’s style is getting worse every day. Her outfit day must be a joke surely? There’s nothing aspirational about her style and surely that’s what a stylist should be?!

On a separate note, anyone think Fiona might go it alone at some point? I think she’s in a different league to the others and doesn’t seem to be in their ‘cool gang’ as much. I see an Emily part 2 happening....

I’m all for wear what you like etc, but I think one of the main “rules” for a stylist, would be, well...to be stylish??.

Commenting on people's style or appearance is something I try to avoid because I'm all for people dressing however the hell they want BUT I have to agree with this. Sarah and Susie would put me off ever booking a service as very little of what they wear seems to suit them. Sarah always looks really uncomfortable (stuff either too tight or too baggy) and Susie seems to be trying WAY too hard to be edgy and individual, almost like a parody of herself. It's weird and actually a bit uncomfortable to watch.

Emily, on the other hand, always looks fab and while a lot of what she wears isn't my style, it suits her. She looks comfortable and put together and like someone who could probably do the same for me.

Fiona is the only one out of them all who seems to dress authentically. She looks comfortable, confident and elegant in everything she wears and doesn't look like she's fallen head first into the dressing up box...

She seems to be the odd one out in the SBS gang...

I agree that she looks likes she’s trying so hard to be edgy. It doesn’t work though unfortunately. I much preferred her style a couple of years ago and actual bought a couple of things based on her wearing them.

Agree and I did too. I think it shows in the fact her Instagram hasn't really grown..
