Dressing For Success - What is wrong with people?

[bigmann245]

my motto is "dress to impress". i mean after i left the club scene i decided to drive a cab while in school. well the cab drivers here are not known for their tea party and country club looks if you know what i mean. well for my interview i came in wearing a suite and they all looked at me like i was high. when i drove the cab i would wear black dress pants, nice dress shoes and a white sirt, vest and tie and also cufflinks to add that little touch. people thought i was nuts wearing that in a cab. well let me tell you i made more money than anyone else there. i got complemented all the time from customers and they all said they had NEVER been in a cab where the driver dressed like i did. people began to ask for me by name when they called for a cab.

if you look like shit you either are a shitty person and dont care or you give that impression

if you look like a million bucks you act like it and it shows. i dont care if your interviewing for a janitors position, wear a suite it goes a long way. at leased a shirt and tie.

I had someone come in this morning for an interview at 7:30am. Now I work in Business Banking for one of the largest financial groups in the world. I "Suit Up" everyday! No if's and's or buts about it. At work = Suit. The ONLY time I am working and not in a suit is if I am playing golf with a client. That's it!
The guy came in wearing dress pants and a golf polo? WTF was he thinking...
Now even if the job was business casual (which it is not) I would still wear a suit on my interview. No way am I hiring him. Am I being harsh or what?

Well I guess you didn't see the movie Pursuit of Happiness
