Screaming Bean
Sunday, August 10, 2003

After reading Jeremy's ponderings about having to buy a suit I have to interject the total inequity of interview clothing. See I went to a seminar last year as a 1L in which we were told about appropriate interview attitude and clothing. The seminar was being done by a very slim woman who had been part of HR at a top caliber NYC firm. She made a comment which irked me and still irks me. "For those women who feel it necessary to ask me whether it's appropriate to wear a pant suit to an interview, I have to say, if you have to ask then you shouldn't." What exactly does that mean? She also went on to say that as a woman wearing a pant suit you would be immediately struck inadequate when facing another woman in an interview. What she failed to grasp was perhaps I look better in a pant suit. Perhaps I feel more confident if I do not have to worry about my pantyhose and my fat knees. And I did buy a pant suit, wore it last year, and when I did I got a half dozen compliments from both men and women in my class about the look. But to see the sycophants in my class who bought into everything she said and went about in ill fitting skirt suits looking like black shrink wrapped sausages, is that the image you want to portray to the interviewer? Look good, feel confident...if that means wearing fuschia, go for it! And oh, Jeremy? I'm thinking a dark charcoal grey with a small thin pinstripe.
