I see competitor's Carharrt jackets all the time, and while I don't like it, it's hard to fault a guy for hang'n on to a good jacket.

I'm not sure that would be the worst thing. It just shows they actually probably have experience.ITO said:I see competitor's Carharrt jackets all the time, and while I don't like it, it's hard to fault a guy for hang'n on to a good jacket.

jnsane84 said:Why the discrimination against "extraneous holes in one's body parts"? I suppose that by not having the extra holes that makes one a better electrician or better tradesperson? I'm not attempting to cause an argument but I dont see the validity of that being a factor when a person is considered for employment. :-?

Any choice where something wins out over another is a descrimination. Discriminating isn't a bad word or a bad thing. "She has very discriminating tastes" is considered a compliment.

I personally would not show up looking like I was ready to start throwing up conduit. There is much more to it from my perspective. Personality, character, work ethic, ability to get along with co-workers, kindness, humility, confidence, competance, honesty. During a job interview the canidate is on stage. And first impressions are worth a bunch. And as one poster mentioned earlier.. Do not ever show up with your boxers hanging out. Be a homey on your time and not on mine. I don't want to ever see your snoopy underwear.SmithBuilt said:I agree with what's been said.
I've had guys come in in old tank tops, flip flops, and pants that were tailored for someone twice their size.
I like a guy to come in in a nice shirt Carhart is fine and nice pants that fit. Ready to work.

I met one inmate who had some celtic crap tatto'd across his forehead and thought at the time about how he had hurt his future. It's about first impressions and acceptable social standards. I guess it depends on what you want.mdshunk said:More like "unemployable".
