Is this common? Was a management position candidate and just struck me as odd.

    Translation: He f'ed up the interview because his shirt was not tucked in.

    That's just sloppy.. But, some men just don't know any better. I wouldn't judge based just on the shirt.

    I would so judge based on the shirt. It shows he does not care enough to be presentable or he does not know enough how to be presentable. Either way, pass now or regret later.

    Very rude. Also not wearing a belt on trousers or jeans, makes me shudder (belt lopes = belt. in my book)

    Oh I feel better for getting that of my chest.

    Absolutely inexcusable. Even if the job doesn't require a dress shirt, you show up for the interview looking proper.

    The job I have right now allows for me to dress business casual. In fact, all of my superiors dress that way. However, when I came in for interviews, I wore a suit, and so did both the VP of Sales and the President of the company.

    I would say it's not impossible to make a great impression without proper dress, but you've certainly put yourself in a position to push a boulder uphill.

    I don't know what part of the country you live in, but 'round here, that's just unprofessional.

    Did he know it was untucked? Maybe he had to put something on a high shelf right before he entered.

    I don't see a problem with it. At least he had a dress shirt on and wasn't wearing a wife-beater with coffee stains. It's more important that he was presentable as it relates to the job.

    Glad you thought my post added at least something to the thread.

    Honestly I'm not sure I would have noticed, unless it was really ill fitting. I'm kind of oblivious to mundane office fashion though. I really only take notice if something really stands out (in a good way) or is a bit of a hot mess (unkempt/wrinkled/ill fitting etc....) *shrug*
