I disagree.

If you're interviewing for a gig as a maintenance guy, then a suit is overkill. But for someone who aspires to do something associated with legal work, even as an intern, a suit is appropriate.

I would NEVER interview in anything less than a suit, but then again I'm not much of a maintenance guy.


Even then, I'd disagree.  I wore a suit and tie to my interview.  Always put your best foot forward.  Even if I am going to "just" be wearing FR Carhartt for the rest of my life... :panic:

I'm not exactly sure what it is you do, other than deal with nuclear and electrical energy, but I'm not sure I'd put you in the "maintenance guy" category either...

My last two jobs after retiring from the Army went like this:

1) Goes to HS to enroll my two oldest retards. Get asked by pricipal if I'd like to sub sometime. Submits resume. Get call asking me to start full time five minutes after I leave the building. Tomorrow. At 8 am.

2) then: After dicking around all summer waiting for school to approve contracts (all of us were waiting the school board to get off ass) gets call from Police Chief. He has an opening do I want it. Ask to think about it over weekend. Do. Call back and say when do you want me to start. Tomorrow. At 6 am.

Niether job did I 'formally' apply for or interview for. Was unemployed after leaving the Army for 28.5 hours.

Well, that's what happens when you come back to your ville like Clint Eastwood in "High Plains Drifter". Shoot all the bad guys and leave without them knowing your name. You're still operating under an alias, right?

I would.  Granted, it's not sweeping the bathrooms kind of maintenance, but it IS still technically maintenance.

I think he had no idea how to appear conservative. Libs have stereotypes but never study their enemies.

I disagree, don't  Matter what job a male is interviewing for, a clean white shirt, a clean sports jacket, even a good pair of jeans and sneakers, clean finger nails filed short, a shave and a hair cut----- a good presentation to a potential employer be it as a mechanic  or in a law firm.

The dress tells the story, a conservative with the upper half and a bit of liberal below the waist.

Does liberal below the waist mean your under ware is showing?
I may not lock my doors while sitting at a red light and a black man is near, but I sure as hell grab on tight to my wallet when any democrats are close by.

Unless, of course, you want to be HIRED.  That might require a different approach.

Same here.

A dark suit... either Navy Blue or Black.  I usually wear a red tie with it.  I have always worn a suit for any job interview... didn't matter what the job was.
