Good color shirt for interview?

[Newell Steamer]

Whatever color is created by mixing cheetos, sweat and soul crushing defeat at life's unforgiving and relentless weight.

Best to show up with a low to mid range handcarved pipe. You dont want to show up with like a $1000 ivory diamond encrusted type of deal, but any 30$-90$ briar should work. Or, of course you could go all out and bring a corncob pipe. But that does not show the same level of commitment as a real briar pipe. Bring some Burley to smoke. Its a bit sweet and somewhat light, but its a real tobacco, a proper mans tobacco that tastes like tobacco and not chocolate strayberry fruit pie.

Something like this?

 

[BurnItDwn]

That is a rather small looking bowl, not what I would picture for a typical boatmans pipe, but, It looks like it would do the job, and doesnt look pretentious or phony. Naturally, only bring a pipe if you enjoy smoking a pipe. I just recommend, dont bring your fanciest most expensive pipe if you have any estate pipes or what not.

People tend to trust people wearing blue. It is a researched and documented phenomenon.

Wear blue.

I don't think I've been to an interview not in a white shirt and a tie. I don't care what the job is for, dress for success!

 

[acheron]

As long as it's low cut and shows off some cleavage it's probably good.

Thank you. I read the article you linked to


Who else thinks I should wear blue?

Too much.. but I maintain blue shirt and khakis.

relaxed or boot cut khakis look nice with a good pair of boots.

I am thinking:

Light blue long sleeve shirt
No tie
Black undershirt
Black belt
Relax cut jeans
Black boots

You'll be fine if you aren't being screened by someone who has never even been on a boat. If you have any reason to think HR will get to you first, consider the Khakis. Otherwise, Im sure the above is fine.

Never too much. This is their first real impression. If you can't bother to clean yourself up for an hour or two out of the day, can you bother to actually do the job? If two equally qualified people came into an interview I was conducting for a manual labor job, and one dressed much better, than the other, all other things being equal, I'd go with the better dressed person, even if the job didn't require wearing said uniform.

Ohhh, you could paint your face blue like in Braveheart! Especially since Scotland is going to be voting soon on their independence!

 

[BurnItDwn]

Just in case you are not smart enough to know I am joking around.

Do not wear suspenders and a straw sombrero with a blue painted face smoking a pipe. It will probably not help you get the job.

 

[lxskllr]

I'd wear a khaki button up work shirt, and a white undershirt. You should look like you're ready to work *right now*, and whenever I see someone wear dark colors in the heat, I think "idiot". IOW, you should be able to take the button up shirt off to work, and not look like an idiot.

I have a boonie hat, will that work instead of a straw hat?

My wife is picking me up a new khaki long sleeve welding style shirt.
Bought a light gray carhart short sleeve shirt yesterday for the undershirt.

My only good long sleeve work shirt has creosote on it from setting fence corner post. So I am getting a new one for the interview.

I have dark complication and green eyes. My wife says the light colors bring out my skin tone.

Oooh, that should be perfect. Stick some fishing lures on that thing and it should be magnificent!

Best Buy ruined any possibility of me trusting anyone in blue. But if you go blue, go light blue.

Today is the big day.

Going with:

Black long sleeve shirt
Light gray carhart undershirt
Jeans
Black belt
Brown and black boots

Wait... Why would you wear your karate belt? I didn't know you were a karate master TH.

Black long sleeve shirt

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

"business casual" can not be used in conjunction with jeans.

When you hit jeans you have crossed into the casual threshold.

Agreed. There is a reason jeans are allowed on "casual" Friday.

 

[cbrunny]

You're wearing jeans? Seems like an odd choice.

In my opinion, black shirts are douchy. I also don't like anything that's flashy.

Even for a manual job, I'd wear a suit & tie.

Prison orange. It says that you aren't afraid to get dirty.
