> But what you're going to have to do is, when you interview...

Dress code for interviews, by the way, is always formal, for any profession other than mine*, which means a coat and tie for men and...whatever women wear to be as formal as men are in a coat and tie.


* Computer-related engineers (sysadmins too, Dave?) don't seem to have a standard interview dress code, which makes it very difficult to figure out how to dress. Some people say that formal attire is still required, while others say formal attire can actually *hurt* your chances if you're applying for a job, because...I don't know, it makes you look desperate or not truly of the technical mindset or something. I usually wear a shirt and tie, but no coat, as a sort of compromise, and even then I occasionally get comments about how I'm way dressed up and how they should have told me I could show up in casual clothing. It boggles my mind, because, seriously, staunchly formal attire for interviewing is standard and understood in basically every other profession, even for companies that have casual dress codes.
