I went to a job interview in Taiwan wearing a suit and tie and felt way way way over dressed.

Anyone have tips about going to a job interview being a foreigner in Taiwan (or China) ?

Haha, excellent :)

@Skritterjohan

Back in the days I had some interviews in TW/HK and I never wore a suit (I never owed one so far...), I'd rather wear casually (beige trouser with a tight black RL Polo fits most of situations)

Nowadays I'm the one who hire people, I don't pay much attention to the attire (what people wear doesn't make them more productive/creative) but a suit is definitely a proof of conformism and lack of originality that I don't like very much.
