In response to the majority (53%) of Gen-Z saying that they are finding it difficult to get on the career ladder because of the average cost of attending job interviews, Trainline opened its first-ever fashion pop-up to provide members of the public free clothing suitable for interviews.

Trainline surveyed 2,000 adults across the UK and found that "the average pursuit for a new role costs 16-24-year-olds a total of £103.15, with candidates typically spending £31.28 on new clothes and £22.54 on travel to simply attend the interviews before securing a job offer."

The Interview Store aims to help Gen Z kick-start their careers with pre-loved clothing sourced from second-hand suppliers. This sustainable angle promises to align with the values of Gen Z, of which two-thirds are actively looking for a new job.
