Oh, the shirt is a bit lighter than the picture shows.

The white shirt with a tie would be more businesslike, while the tan shirt is more stylish.



It depends on what you know about the company. Are they a "suit and tie" type of place?



Lots of people would tell you to wear the tie regardless. Given that the company is pretty big, I'm in that camp.

I disagree: white shirt+tie--unless you know they're an easygoing company, in which case the tan shirt does look very nice and should suffice.

Ok. Go with the tie. I let my personal feelings on ties get in the way.

Dude, ALWAYS wear a tie unless you're told not to.





Bring a rusty meathook that you name "Raggavazoo" and constantly refer to it during the interview.

Make sure you remove the latex vagina substitute from the pockets of your suit so that it doesn't fall out during the interview onto his desk.

Wear a skirt. Not a kilt, a real skirt. Maybe wool.



Then, ever so coyly, spread your legs a little during the interview. Cops love that.

You should always wear a suit to an interview. Stay safe with a white shirt and tie that goes with the suit. Belt, socks, and shoes must match, and if the suit is black or blue, wear black shoes. Don't wear loafers.



I once went to an interview where the person I talked to specifically said that the dress code was laid back and that I didn't need to dress formally for the interview. I wore a suit with a silk shirt and no tie. I didn't get the job.

aushie 5,580 13
02/14/2002 12:13 PM

That's because you dressed too formally. You should have gone in a pair of spaghetti-sauce-stained grey sweatpants and a wife-beater.

I'm back. I wore the tie.



It went rather well. They told me I'd know something in about a week because they have another interview scheduled for next Wednesday.



The toughest question: "What type of co-worker or manager don't you like working with." (I told them I don't like working with/for someone who wants a progress report every 30 minutes)



The easiest question: I was given a SQL statmenet and asked what was wrong with it. The example was trying to select one field and group by another field that was not selected.

Next time you have an interview dress in fancy women's clothing. They won't be able to comment on it, so you can just watch them squirm, trying to act like it's nothing weird



Every once in a while, look at their crotches and lick your lips.
