Your essential guide on how you can dress for success in job interviews
Traditionally, what one wears is taken by others as an essential signal of status. The writer Mark Twain declared “clothes do not merely make the man, clothes are the man; without them he is a nobody.” Does the same hold true in 2024? Aim to dress one level up from what you would expect to be wearing if you got the job. Combined with a clean shirt and preferably a tie, you’re unlikely to feel out of place. Not too casual: If you get the vibe that casual is okay then stay on the smart side of casual.

We complained to Gardaí about male hostel close to school: Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire parent
The parent we spoke to also said that some parents at the primary school feel that the school community feel “forgotten about” almost exactly one month on from the stabbings that shocked the nation. Asked what, if any, action was taken, the mum said, “No one from the Gardaí had gotten back to us. There was nothing.”“As far as we know, the suspect lived in one of the hostels just a stone’s throw away from the school. The Dublin mum told Gript that parents, just weeks on from the attack, feel like the incident “has been pushed under the carpet” – with conversation about the incident quieting down. It’s disappointing.”The parent continued: “We also feel like it happened, but it didn’t happen in the eyes of the government.
