What is hilarious is when people come into an interview like a scrub. I understand you spent four hundred dollars on those basketball sneakers. But they're basketball sneakers. You didn't get the job because you obviously make bad decisions.
If the job isn't representative or dealing with customers, fuck off with fashion sense or pay for the uniform.
The job is specifically greeting customers. And we do pay for their outfits. And jackets. And rain jackets. And winter jackets. And hats. And umbrellas. And everything else. But we dont dress people for interviews. And we don't hire people who show they have no common sense.
See, there it is somewhat understandable.
And to that end, dressing up nice enough for interview at most places shouldn’t even be that high a bar. Dark jeans and a nice button up, even one with patterns honestly, will probably be enough. After that, though, most jobs pay like shit and treat people worse than that so if they expect me to show up in a suit and jerk them off they can get bent.
I would personally avoid jeans but a polo and khakis would be 100% acceptable. I wouldn't discount someone in dark jeans. I had someone show up in designer ripped jeans. Just no, dude. This is a job interview.
I would also add moccasins or espadrillas (boating shoes).
Exactly. Even a pair of fully black converse could be subtle enough.
