Science Nerd 28760    Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: Mad Manatee Mentors 2013: CLOSED (exc/ Pop Tart bribes) Ok, Manatees, opinion time: what does one wear to an interview? Position is at a hospital with other PhDs/MDs/MD&PhDs. Do I have to wear a suit? Would that be the best option? I don't currently own one, but I'll get one if I have to. |

Originally posted by switch Originally posted by melbo55 Wear your silliest suit/kit, maybe some glitter--see the thread in the triforum for specific glitter details. Have a fun, but not necessarily fast race (they don't have to be mutually exclusive) *coughBencough* Hang out after the race (might be some drinking involved, maybe, possibly) Just a little PSA I like how you think! This could be fun and dangerous. Should we warn the city/state we meet in about our meet up? Quite possibly. I encourage all who are interested to contribute to the thread in the main forum. This is going to be the shiznit. Oh, and Salty thought of a great name: The Glitter Tri We may have to ban competing on tri bikes. Just spit ballin here... Remember that tricked-out gold plated banana seat number she posted a couple months ago? Think that, an outrageous suit, and glitter in T1, and you're starting to get the idea. Our main goals should be to bring joy to the "real racers" and each other and, of course, to meet up and have a good time. I just don't understand how RDs won't be fighting over us... What if I wear my Wonder Woman tutu? Is that acceptable? It doesn't have to be revealing, just fun, preferably outrageous. Btw, I think Ben is ignoring me... |

Interview = suit, but I work in a suit intensive industry (Banking). That's my thinking too, would need a good reason NOT to wear a suit to about any type of job. But are things different for the ladies? |

I have fewer issues being overdressed. |

Ahhh I love being in a creative industry Yep, definitely a suit. I got one JUST for interviewing with law firms for a paralegal position and haven't worn it since. I can't say whether it helped me get the job or not, but I'd rather be over than under dressed. Do you have a date for the interview yet??? |
