QUESTION 7 OF 40

This position requires you to wear a uniform to work. Have you worn a uniform in the workplace before? How do you feel about this?

Many retail-based organizations require their employees to wear a uniform. Talk to the interviewer about any times you have been required to wear a uniform and your thoughts on this. Be sure to keep your answer positive and avoid speaking poorly of the practice surrounding uniforms.

"Yes, I have worn a uniform for work at restaurant XYZ and when I was a retail manager for company ABC. I have seen the uniforms worn by the retail employees at Waitrose and see that it adds a strong level of professionalism."

"I think uniforms are a great way to provide a feeling of unity in the workplace. I have worn uniforms in three past jobs and like that they help customers identify who works for the company and display a high level of professionalism."

Focus on describing the positive reasons for wearing a uniform. Employees in uniform are identifiable to customers, look professional, promote the company's brand, and show unity among the staff.
