Why do I have to wear a suit to my interview? Hell, why does anybody have to wear suits? Let’s analyze what the suit is saying to the interviewer. It says,
“I heard I should wear a suit.”
AND
“I had money for a suit.”
OR
“I have a suit that fits.”
Having money is not something someone flaunts at a job interview. Doesn’t having money mean you want the job less? You should be dressed in a way that says you want the job and not to say, ” I am a tool of cultural aesthetic who is going to use this garment as a crutch to increase my apparent respectability as I sit here uncomfortably and talk to you but fidget whenever you’re not looking.”
We can wear hand-knit sweaters to business functions. They say so much more.
“I have the tenacity, dedication and fine motor skills to remain at a task until completion. My devotion to this sweater’s creation is a direct reflection of my desire to join your organization.”
OR
“I’m nice enough to Grandma that she knitted this for me. How can you reject a person who’s that nice to his grandmother? You can safely assume my social support is sufficient that a termination-induced homicidal breakdown is unlikely.”
Only if the rest of the world was like you Tommy Tran.
is the title of this post related to our furry conversation the other day?
On that note, why not just dress as a furry to your interview? I mean, you probably won’t get the job, unless of course your interviewer is also a furry. In which case, not only will you have a job, but someone to help fulfill that urge to have a conversation at the water cooler in a crotchless bunny suit.
