"Life is pain, Highness. Anyone who says differently is selling something." ~The Man in Black When I get asked what to wear to an interview, my response is, "the best-dressed person in the room should be the one asking for the check." Fair? I don't know, but my percentage of interview-to-hire is much better when candidates follow this little guideline. Asymetrical? Maybe. But its a pretty good, small step, in the process of exchanging code for cash. Note, I don't recommend tuxedos to interviews. Check out the company. Ask the interviewer (or your recruiter) what to wear. If your interview is on a Friday, ask if it's especially casual there that day. Something like "I want to be comfortable so I can really engage in the interview. What's appropriate?" You will likely dress different for technical interviews than you will when meeting with the hiring manager, director and veep. Remember, people want to hire people that will make their problems go away. Not *looking* like a potential problem is the key here ;) Oh, and looking like "a slacker" is as equally damaging as looking like you are high maintenance and "too uptight". Just remember the SUSE mascot and blend in to your surroundings. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
