CDCFIB approved dress code for oral interview
According to the board, all candidates are required to wear a white T-shirt with either short or long sleeves, with the long-sleeve option being optional for female candidates. Candidates must also appear in white shorts or white long trousers, with the long-trouser option again listed as optional for women. White sneakers and white socks are mandatory for all. Female candidates may also wear a headscarf, though this is not compulsory.
The board emphasised that compliance is not negotiable. Any candidate who arrives at the interview venue dressed outside the approved guidelines will be turned away and refused access.
