Subject: Dress for success
My question...how do you dress? Do you dress in a respectful but
modest fashion or do you go all out...custom suit, french cuffs,
rolex, etc?
Middle of the road, usually (well... I guess it depends on the industry,
and I'm usually going for the software industry where they're happy if
you don't come to work in slippers). People only have a few moments to
form an impression of you, and two of the last impressions you want them
to form are that you either obviously have a lot of money based on the
way you dress and don't need much from them, or that they couldn't
afford you. :)
Well, at least that's interviewing with men as a women. Being a woman
interviewing with women can be a whole other can of worms (I once caught
a potential manager actually make a face when she saw my shoes were a
far cry from her Manolos).
