Patrick has some great advice.
I'll add my own anecdote: earlier this year I had an interview which required taking a plane. I decided to wear my suit on the plane, and it was an entirely new experience. I can't put my finger on exactly what it was, but the people simply seemed nicer, more pleasant and accommodating. If you want people to think of you as a professional, dressing the part certainly helps.
- miles_matthias 15y agoI hate the fact that people get treated differently because of what they wear. It's ridiculous and unfair, but that is reality. And that's one of the biggest things I took from this piece: Yea, it all sucks and is ridiculous most of the time, but it's the way the game is played. Play it or get left behind.
- ajtaylor 15y agoIt's definitely a game. One that's rigged (and not in your favor), but you better do your best or you might not get a second chance.
