Aside from clothing here is another tip. When the interview is ending ASK FOR THE JOB. Make it very clear you are the man during the interview and so on. But on the ending at some point before leaving say I CAN DO OR I WOULD LIKE TO DO THIS JOB FOR YOU. Not to just a HR hack but if you interview with the actual boss. It works.

You also said this to me awhile ago; I found it useful when I used a variation of what you're saying here. It's a good way to end things and try to set yourself apart...depending on the situation, etc.

Forgot about that Vegan but it works.

I wouldn't get out of bed for a $5,000 suit.

Why not? I paid for almost 20% of it.

The suit or the bed?

Wouldn't you like to know.

That's good...I'd say just asking questions is a huge plus. Of the dozen or so interviews I've done since I've been at my current job, one of the things that sticks out the most is how much of an impression it makes when the person we are interviewing asks substantial and relevant questions. Too many times we've gotten to the end of the interview and when we ask if they have any questions, they sit there for five minutes and say they can't think of anything.

So think of some questions that are relevant to the company/job you are applying to.

Oh, and if you happened to go to the same school as someone on the interview team, but you have never met them until that moment, don't say they'll vouch for you...that doesn't work out very well.

I showed up for my last interview in a button down and new blue jeans and they still tease me for coming in "all dolled up". :lol:

Only used car salesmen and work permit banquet hall bus boys wear a shirt and tie without a jacket.

Poor form.

I gotta agree with Cue Ball here. If you feel that you have to put the tie on for your interview, might as well go with the coat, too.

Also, regarding the original question, it's always safer to "overdress" for an interview than "underdress." If you wear a suit and tie, nobody's likely to criticize you for that. But if you come in slacks and a shirt, you're leaving yourself open to unfavorable scrutiny--right from the start.

If it is for an IT position, wrinkled khakis, a polo shirt, gym shoes and don't comb your hair...otherwise wear a suit.

If it's for anything except maybe retail, wear a suit.

Wear a blood red tie. Project vitality and virility. A belt buckle is good. Not too ostentatious but it should draw attention to your cock area. Masturbating before the interview is good. Clears the mind and relaxes you. In the end, everything comes down to dick.

Don't wear a tan/beige suit. Nobody in a position of authority wears one, & even if the job isn't an authoritative job, you don't want to look like a bitch.
