[net.jobs] Suit experience

dir (12/20/82)

When I was interviewing for jobs, I supposed that looking neat and
conservatively groomed was important, but I didn't really think it
was all THAT important. Well, now that I am the interviewER, I see
that the impression that one makes is sometimes the first threshold
for making the cut.
I figure that if the person did not care enough to present him/herself
as best as possible, then perhaps that said something about their
self-image. I also recognize, however, that certain eccentricities
are to be expected in R&D organizationsr, and that this is reflected
in people's dress.
I also recommend the Dress for Success book.
