[Sigia-l] Dress Code

[Johndan Johnson-Eilola]

This is a great question, and one I've wondered about. And the best  
advice I've gotten is to ask the person who contacted you about the  
interview.

In my experience, as both an interviewer and interviewee, I'm more  
than happy to tell interviewees about our dress code (when there is  
one) as well as expectations about what our interviewees wear. Most  
jobs you interview with *want* you to succeed and do your best job— 
they're looking for a good colleague.

(Maybe this is just due to the places I've worked, which aren't  
trying to play head games with interviewees. But if some place *is*  
probably trying to play head games with you, I'm not sure you want to  
work there, unless you're desperate....)
