Interview clothing

This reminds me of an observation I read somewhere about applying for membership of certain golf clubs: Hitler - smart suit, tie, well combed hair, neat 'tache… no problem, application approved. Jesus - Long hair, beard, sandals, wearing what appears to be a dress…
Much the same with job applications, though not nearly as much as in years gone by.0 -
But what was Hitler's handicap?0

Also jesus would d!ck around with the water hazards - not cool3

Dunno, turning a lake into wine might go down well with the members (although walking on the water feature to play a shot might not be considered sporting).shirley_basso said:Also jesus would d!ck around with the water hazards - not cool

Think of Hitler in the bunker though1

You could argue a strong case that Jesus suffered the same handicap.0

Number of ties owned by my Dad: approximately 3 billion. Number of ties owned by me, none. I’ve never worn a suit, for a job interview or anything else. I expect “not playing the game” in this way means I am not as wealthy as I might otherwise be, but I would be completely unsuitable for the sort of jobs that go with a high income, and vice versa. I enjoy my current job and don’t care I’m not awash with cash. Enough to get by suits me fine.0

Although I haven't attended any in the past year, I have noticed the attire at funerals to be becoming less formal.
I wouldn't think of attending not wearing suit and tie.
Am I just being old fashioned?0 -
I will put a suit on later to go pick my grandson up from school and take him swimming.
I like wearing a suit however I tend not to bother when on my bike.0 -
Best he be careful and keep on the fairway. He'd never find it in the rough.kingstongraham said:

That's bit harsh. It was just an observation that I've learnt I have the wrong temperament for the sort of high earning jobs where a suit and tie is still the accepted norm, which tend to be office based. I've had a variety of jobs, some better than others, but the only one I truly loathed was in an office.shirley_basso said:

By the way, "Enough to get by suits me fine" is a line from a song. I'll give every tie I own as a prize to the first person to name it.

What about where the deceased or their family request something informal? I've been to a few where mouners have been asked to dress in bright colours and it has been a celebration of a life. I didn't feel comfortable the first time but it was for a young lad that worked for me who got killed in a motorbike accident and it turned out to be totally appropriate to the occasion.ballysmate said:Although I haven't attended any in the past year, I have noticed the attire at funerals to be becoming less formal.

Yeah, I get that Pross, my mother wore bright colours to my dad's funeral as he had asked. But I was thinking more about when there have been no sort of requests made. People just don't seem to bother now.

It's a general lowering of standards isn't it? I sing with a choir that does a lot of weddings and it's noticeable that people don't put as much effort in there either (loads of fake tans and product in hair but scuffed shoes, no tie, often no suit and occasionally just turning up in jeans and a shirt). Even supposed black tie functions have people turning up with no tie and a normal suit.ballysmate said:Pross said:

Isn’t getting into your firm more about one’s ability to beast oneself (and to be breasted by others) over many weeks without crying or dying?MattFalle said:I think it boils down to this:
dress how you want but if I think you're lazy/arrogant/can't be bothered to play the work game at such an early stage then nah fam, you're not for us, ypu're obviously too cool for school0 -

I’ve attended both my parents’ funerals in the last 18 months, and suits were in the minority. At my Dad’s only his golf club buddies were wearing suits, and as he’d outlived most of them there were only a couple. My brother in law has been to thousands of funerals, as he’s a vicar. He says suits, and/or dark clothing are no longer the norm and haven’t been “expected” for as long as he's been doing funerals, which is more than 30 years.0 -
I saw that and thought it was magnificent.johngti said:

it made me both very happy but also very sad because i had never been breasted as part of my job role....
I DEMAND TO SEE MY LINE MANAGER.The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

It makes me laugh when they do documentaries about young squaddies and they all have to turn up in a suit and tie for their first day (always badly fitting). Seems very odd for a job that is going to involve them spending most of their life crawling around in the rain and mud.johngti said:

to a certain extent, yeah - its all short term pain long term gain but like anything, if you're not playing the game (or in our case, your face doesn't fit), although you can be physically the fittest person ever and great at whatever, you'll get a standing fail, my mob's equiv of not getting a job because you just aren't hitting it from the begining.johngti said:

We are v v specialised and v v good at what we do, so why get roped up with someone that is going to cause a rucus and mean you divert time from what you are actually meant to be doing?
it boils down to why should you give a role to someone who can't bearsed to even dress up to talk to you?
Wear the clothes
Jump through the hoops
Get what you want
And chillllllllll..The camera down the willy isn't anything like as bad as it sounds.

I coached a young para who was off on medical leave (very young, 17-18). Real team player, would have run head first into a wall if it was needed. I can see why a decent proportion of them are tempted to move on.0 -
generally, everything is more fun if breasts are involved..
