Manufacturing Job Fair "Dress Professionally"???
 
In article ,
says...

I got this in the Email:

Manufacturing Job Fair

Come meet companies with job openings
· Bring your resume
· Dress professionally
· Prepare to interview

Great, cool, groovy. But what does it mean "dress professionally"?
Dress like when I go to report for work? As I do when I've had the
job a while?

Or dress like I'm going to talk to an HR drone who doesn't realize
that manufacturing jobs aren't management, or service, or white collar
- but blue collar? That we don't manage production, but "make
stuff"?

fnord.

I'll wear something clean, w/o holes, and probably not the BDUs I wear
everywhere else but to job interviews.

Discussing the decline in the US's tech edge, James Niccol once wrote
"It used to be that the USA was pretty good at producing stuff teenaged
boys could lose a finger or two playing with."


As a general rule, wear a gray suit and a tie to interviews unless there
is some other form of attire that is recognized as being correct for the
job (if you're going for a job as a priest and you're ordained, wear
your black suit and clerical collar for example).
