Actually I have an interview attire question for all finance/lawyer/corporate type jobs that are non-media or non for profit or creative:

As a woman -do you expect that person to come in a suit? or does a pair of nice black dress pants and a sweater top or blouse with nice flats suffice? I do not wear heels to an interview as for me it’s too va-va-va vooooomm (spare me the male commentary that if I had been wearing heels I would get the job)

Thanks!

I’m the opposite of IJ. I’m a terrible interviewer. When I’m interviewing it’s like I’m talking to some animated flesh doll or something and I just can’t form any kind of opinion about it. It’s moving and saying stuff but I know it’s just rehearsed, and maybe it’s nervous or maybe it isn’t, but that has nothing to do with how well it’ll do the job anyways. I usually just give some kind of middle of the road “fine if everyone else is OK with him” type feedback. Unless he or she is from a really scrappy background, then I’ll give a good recommendation.

You know what’s the worst type of interview (in my experience)? It’s when you are being interviewed by a guy who obviously hates his or her job, and they take out their frustration on you.

I think the PETA people are psychos.

There is a new “law” that says when sex symbols reach a certain age they are required to work for animal rights, ie Brigitte Bardot, etc.
