Can't believe there's even a debate about this one.

Wear a suit.

More than anything, it shows you take the process seriously.

Case in point: I once had a hiring manager at a decent-sized metro show up to an interview wearing a wrinkled polo shirt and jeans. My first thought: he isn't taking this interview very seriously. It's always tainted my impression of the man.

Dress as you'd like to be treated. I want to be treated as a professional.

bull****. i hope you wear a suit and tie to work every damned day or this post is hypocritical.

Not sure I follow the logic.

If I'm a hypocrite, so be it. I'll be a hypocrite who looks better than you.

if you take off your suit and tie, you stop taking the job seriously ... using your logic.

and pimp it out all you want, chief. doesn't do **** for ya on deadline.

I'll try to break it down for you:

Suit and tie shows you take the interview seriously.

Again, can't believe that's even a debate. Wear a suit. Period.

Interview is your first impression. It's like your first date.

Not saying you're going to get the job because of it. Or that you're not going to get the job if you don't wear it.

You got a job with a nifty earing in your ear and your shirt unbuttoned and your chest hair blowing in the wind? Great. But I don't think recommending everyone do it is the best advice.

As far as deadline goes, it feels good filing a great story on deadline, but it feels even better when you're the best looking person in the room.

You shoiuld try it.

Nope. Not me. I'm not afraid of losing my hearing at all.

I don't even understand what you're saying anymore.

But the earing looks cute.

There was a topic?

I don't think most people care if you have a goatee or not. If you look like you haven't shaved in three or four days, I'll pick up on that big time.

Personally, I will notice it much more if you don't come in at least wearing a shirt and tie with dress slacks than I would notice goatee vs. no goatee.

If you come in without dressing appropriately, you had better be the best damn applicant I've ever seen on the other side of the table.

and somehow that doesn't shock me. i'll be sure to type at a second-grade level next time, just for you.

I'm confused by this. Are there really people out there who wouldn't hire someone because they have a goatee?

On the flip side, I won't hire any clean-shaven people.

I knew there was a reason I liked you.
