Must be my age talking, but if someone is paying me to work, I dress up. My policy is to dress at the same level of my clients, but I never dress below a dress

Must be my age talking, but if someone is paying me to work, I dress up.
My policy is to dress at the same level of my clients, but I never dress below a dress shirt and dress pants.
If you have two people in front of you with equally good talent and good attitude, but with one dressed down and the other dressed up, who are you going to give your money to?
Personally, I'm going to hire the guy who took the extra effort to dress up.
- orangecat 15y agoPersonally, I'm going to hire the guy who took the extra effort to dress up. And as I said above, my instinct would be to hire the guy who doesn't look like he's overcompensating. But I recognize that such a superficial judgment either way is a foolish bias.
- slantyyz 15y agoDressing up is overcompensating? Wow. I don't consider it superficial. Someone who takes the effort to spend a few extra minutes iron an outfit and make himself (or herself) look a little more professional might actually be the type to do the same with his/her work output too.
