Don't Wear The Interview Suit

What not to wear when you want a low profile or a calm employer: the suit you wore for your job interview.

This is the true conflict-of interests inherent in job interviews: we wear suits and nifty clothes to impress the potential new bosses - then we can never wear that particular ensemble again.

Why? Because they think you are going on a job interview somewhere else.

Try it if you feel like garnering sideways glances and nervous comments such as "Who you interviewing with during your lunch break, ha, ha!"

So, if you are on a tight budget and looking for a job, make sure you don't wear the only thing you have that's decent to the job interview - beg, borrow or steal something else - because that particular suit or dress is only going to be acceptable for sit-down dinners, office parties and interviews for jobs elsewhere from that moment on.

The Cube has observed. The Cube knows. The Cube has a tailored suit that sits in the closet gathering unused.
