Top Ten Lucky Charms For Interview

Some more ground breaking research from our friends at employment law firm Peninsula! Apparently 6 in 10 interview candidates wear lucky pants to ease them through an interview

The research found that 84% adorn themselves with a ‘lucky’ item, with six in 10 opting for lucky pants, whilst 73% of respondents armed themselves with advice taken from a horoscope reading of the day.

The top 10 lucky charms are:
- Lucky underwear (sometimes unwashed!)
- Lucky jewellery
- Brooch
- Lucky shoes
- An object from childhood, ie blanket/teddy
- Four-leaf clover
- Key ring
- Lucky stone
- Lucky pen/pencil
- Lucky photograph of someone ie boyfriend/relative

Peter Done, managing director at Peninsula said: "Union Jack underwear is not guaranteed to get you the job, so get prepared, turn up early for the interview, dress smartly and sell yourself. Leave the lucky underwear at home. I'm amazed at how superstitious people are, one employee we spoke to took wearing lucky underwear to the extreme claiming his briefs are so lucky that he refuses to wash them."
