Greetings folks.

 

I just received an e-mail to attend an interview asking me to scan a copy of my passport and schedule the time to fly there.  Can someone pls tell me what is the formal office wear in Qatar and in this case to attend an interview? does everyone (foreign national) wear 3 piece suit to work? or formal 

wear with a nice looking tie is suffice?

 

 

I would appreiate if anyone can help me on this.

 

Thanks

For interviews, its always better to wear a suit.. Thats the normal trend here  though we may not be wearing suit in our normal working time..

thank u all indeed for the inputs.  I have a good idea what 'formal' dress code is like over there.  Not much different from any others.

 

Thanks again

yeah, a long sleeve shirt with a tie will be perfect for your position.   Good luck !

Mercia and t_coffee_or_me, 

 

thanks for the ino and it really helps a lot.  

 

Well, it is a mid level mgmt position, and in view of the hot weather, i think it is wise just to  wear a shirt and tie to make myself more comfy as long as I m not under dressed.

 

Thanks and u all have been great!

Office wear will mostly depend on what type of job n position u will be holding or being interviewed for

normally if its a management position 2 piece suit n tie will surfice

Most guys wear a shirt and tie, some dont wear ties, just a shirt and a pair of chinos.  It will be too warm to wear a 3 piece suit.  Smart casual is usual.

alright noted with thanks, Issae.  I assume that corporate attire does not require a suit but I will wear it on this occassion anyway.

 

Thanks again
