In certain domains this applies (and indeed, given the blog's background it's on the mark). But in large segments of the job market I still think it's important to dress reasonably well.
Even if attention is a limited resource, the interview usually is a place where first impressions matter, so I'd say budgeting some attention towards looks is not misguided at all.
- pg 17y agoYou're right that dressing well matters in large segments of the job market. But I'd argue that this is a pretty good heuristic for deciding which segments of the job market to avoid.
- radu_floricica 17y agoThat is true. However there still remain the entry-level interviews. When most of what you sell is potential every detail under your control matters.
