What should you wear to a job interview at Rabobank?
Congratulations on securing a job interview at Rabobank. We know interviews can be nerve-wracking, and the last thing you should worry about is your outfit. Our advice? Wear whatever makes you feel comfortable and shows us who you are. Here are our tips.
First and foremost: we don’t believe in strict dress codes. We want you to feel welcome at Rabobank as soon as you arrive. The best way to do that is to be yourself, so please wear whatever you feel comfortable in. Dress to impress by all means, but we’re much more interested in who you are as a person and what you have to say.
Advised style: smart casual
Diversity empowers us. We encourage people to wear clothes that reflect their background, culture or lifestyle, so that we can create spaces in which everyone feels they belong.
But if we had to give any advice, smart casual, a shirt, blouse or polo top paired with pants, chinos or jeans, is the way to go. It’s comfortable, neat and neutral, but with plenty of options to show your uniqueness.

What isn’t smart casual?
While we don’t have guidelines, we have noticed that some items of clothing are best avoided during interviews. These include:
- Ripped jeans
- Sheer (transparent or translucent) fabrics
- Caps, hats or beanies
- Sportswear or beachwear, including flip-flops
- Shorts
See these as guidelines for looking neat and professional rather than rules.
How to dress for a video interview
If, like many candidates, you have a video interview with us, you should dress as you would for an in-person interview. You’ll perform at your best if you feel good and comfortable in your outfit.
Extra tip: Wear your full outfit from head to toe. Wearing only the top half could lead to embarrassment if you need to stand up unexpectedly.
Show us who you are
Whether a cool blazer, colorful shirt or a plain and simple sweater – you pick. As long as you look presentable and feel comfortable, we don’t mind. Because if you feel good, your confidence will shine through. That’s exactly what we want to see: you at your absolute best.
