IT industry dress-code

    Hi everybody,

    I am a programmer with 6 years of experience in fields of web technologies (java, php, html, css, javascript....=)

    Now I would like to move to Vienna and the first step is finding a job.

    The question is how important is the CV photo? Currently I have long hair and I would be sorry to cut it if it makes no difference.

    Also do I have to wear a suit in the CV photo and on the actual job interview?

    Thank you for your answers.

    Hi Marko,

    the photo is by far not the most important thing on a CV. A shirt + long hair + a neat look should really be ok.

    job interview
    it depends - I personally would recommend wearing a suit, but cloth pants/suit pants + shirt are definitely fine too.

    As long as you look cultivated, long hair is not a problem for a male IT expert (for female definitly not).

    And I would wear clothes for the job interview that make me feel professional and comfortable. A tie is not needed - and for the rest I would say it depends a little bit on the job.

    When applying as a programmer, you could dress a little bit less formal than as a project manager. And for an interview for a software company I would dress other than for an interview for a financial institute...

    IT business in Vienna is more or less the same as everywhere else :)
