I know that you already had the job and it was kind of an informal 'interview' but I have many many friends that used to or currently do work in HR offices and do some hiring and firing and they all agree that when someone walks into the office, they can be impressed with them right off depending on how professionally they present themselves and the opposite is also true. I know that the clothes you wear don't make you a better or worse employee but upon that first meeting, where they really don't have much to go on because they do not yet know you and how you are going to perform, I think it's best to put your best foot forward and present yourself like you are professional. |
This was at a flight school, not an office job. If I was going to an airline, or a bank, I'd have dressed more formal. I think you're confusing "nice" with "formal". Just because you're formal, doesn't mean you look nice, and vice versa. I looked about as nice as possible without dressing formal. This was, IMO, a non-formal meeting, and I should have dressed non-formally (but still nicely.)
