Dress Nice for Interviews People!
September 13th 2007 19:28
I mentioned in yesterday's post that I had an interview at 8am that morning. It was for one of the on-campus student jobs in the library. Apparently some people think you don't need to dress up for certain interviews!
Now, I'm not saying I wore a suit or anything (I don't even own one!!) but I had a nice sweater on with gauchos and close-toed shoes. The guy I watched walk in after me was wearing gym shoes, jeans and a regular old t-shirt. Is this serious? While I don't know if he still was offered a job or not, I think it's silly. Wouldn't you want to look somewhat decent when going to a job interview, so that maybe they would think you were serious about getting a job there?
Maybe the reasoning was it's just a student job on a college campus. I can somewhat understand this excuse, since the dress code for working is basically jeans and a reasonable t-shirt. However, it is still an interview!
Promise me you won't look sloppy when you to go an interview, no matter where it's for. The last job I worked at, we even noticed how you looked when you came in to ask for an application! Look presentable when you want a job. Please.
