Conservative dress for interviews
I have a reason for leaning on this subject other than the obvious one. But here we go anyway: collegegrad.com appears to see interviewing as a choice of two options:- Dress conservatively, because you want interviewers to listen to you.
- Dress as you like, because you are a college student.
Having said that, it appears that interviewers dressed worse than I am are excluding me for just that reason. (I'm trying out for teaching jobs right now -- teachers are almost always "business casual.") So I am going to recommit to the dark suit. I still have a gray one, that doesn't fit well. But it's still nearly new.
I'm still perplexed. Can the people doing the hiring really want someone less experienced, and less well-prepared, but who dresses better? It certainly looks that way, because the Web sites even write about shoes. On the same page, collegegrad.com says this about shoes:
Many have said that you can judge a person by their shoes. You will find that many ex-military officers (many of whom have found their way into management positions in corporate America) are especially aware of a person's shoes.So it's not really about any particular SKILL that military people hold. It's about the attention they pay to their shoes. That explains Kelly Perdew and all his fans.
