Having to dress "nicely" when applying for a job

[*SunShyne*]

Look, all I'm saying is that it doesn't matter what the position you have applied for is, just come looking ready for a job interview, and not like you're going out to a bar that night with the guys

[robyn]

and all we're saying is not every job is an office job

[*SunShyne*]

I'm not saying every job is an office job... hell, when I went to apply at Fortino's when I was 17, I still dressed up for it. Same as when I was 15 and worked at a truck stop coffe house. Same as when I was 18 and applied at a warehouse.

[robyn]

did you wear a suit?

[robyn]

your bad karma is useless against me!

[-evil-duerr-]

i kinda like getting dressed up all dapper-like for interviews,formal events etc.
It attracts a different kind of attention from people, it's cool.

I HAVE NEVER WORN A SUIT AND I MAKE TWICE AS MUCH AS SUNSHYNE

FROM THIS DATA I CAN CONCLUDE THAT WEARING A SUIT MEANS YOU WILL GET PAID LESS THAN SOMEONE WHO DOESNT

He's still in Toronto, and obviously avoiding you like the plague.

Oh I'm all over jeans day.

I'm looking forward to that day... I hate wearing dress pants to work!!!

[*SunShyne*]

So, I guess... "yes" if someone came in on jeans day, and had that button, I'd consider them.

Wanna be my bitch Frogprincess?

^frogprincess also has a career that pays more than yours and she didn't have to wear business clothes to get.

You're really losing out on this one here.

That is quite possibly one of the coolest things ever. The smell of fresh cut ice first thing in the morning is one of my favourite things in the world.

I APPLAUD YOU!!!

[M!SKA]

Webber, you drove a zamboni? that is so fucking cool!

TODAY I WALKED AROUND IN MY SOCKS
IT WAS GLORIOUS

hey guys, which is funnier.....

sunshyne trying to convince us that we can't have an entry level position with her company cause we all dress too casually....

or the fact that we all make double what she makes and she is still trying to dispense advice?

[*SunShyne*]

Avana, have you bothered to ask what I make? no no, really, go on, ask.

I'll be straight forward with you.

Someone asked why they should dress up for an interview. I answered why they should. People have answered why they shouldn't.

I've always gone to every job interview dressed professionally, and you know, even when I was a teenager, I still go the job, more than likely over someone who wore jeans.

Seriously though Avana, you need a new hobby. Stop jumping on every post I make just because a piece of you doesn't agree with me. If it bothers you THAT much, there's a nifty little feature called "ignore"... or you could just stop reading into what I write so bloody much and ignore me altogether.

[frogprincess]

how much do you make?
