Job Interview

First job interview at a GLC in KL, do I need to wear full suit and tie or smart casual can already?

I've sat on interview panels at two GLCs and honestly the dress code matters less than people think, but you still want to signal you took it seriously. For a guy, long-sleeve shirt tucked in, dark slacks, leather shoes and a plain tie is the safe standard, blazer optional if you have one. What actually gets remembered is whether your shirt is ironed and your shoes are not the same sneakers you wore to mamak last night. The sweat problem is real, so I always tell candidates to come 15 minutes early, sit in the aircon lobby and cool down before going up. Bring a small pack of tissue and wipe your face in the toilet before they call you, first impression is everything.
