    It really all depends on the dress code of the worksite. What effort is the person making to present themselves as the best candidate. Appearance means a lot. I have shown up to construction interviews with a dress shirt an tie.

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

    That's what she said.

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


    Two somethings in fact. A question for clarification and humor. ;)

    I read this as dress and a shirt. I say hire him on the spot, you know he is a strait shooter.

    If I see all of that, I'd be asking myself the same question as when I see a woman with more than light makeup on....."What are they hiding?"

    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.
