Drifting the thread slightly. I've had all manner of vendors come visit me trying to sell me stuff at work (current and previous employers.) It's always interesting to see how they might be dressed for what can be a formal occasion. Some do come suited and booted, particularly some from the larger organisations and the senior guys. Most are business casual, some wear plaid, the odd one in jeans. One example that caused amusement was the guy from Ottawa who visited Newfoundland in early June. Now in early June, I believe it is hot(ish) in Ottawa, but in Newfoundland it can be 2C, rain, drizzle and fog, which it was on this occasion. He arrived wearing chinos, a golfing polo shirt, a light waterproof jacket, sandals and no socks. Now I did think that the sandals and no socks was inappropriate for a business meeting, but since he spent his 36 hours in St. John's freezing his arse off, I derived a certain amount of amusement and placed the order with him anyway. He wasn't as amusing as the guy who came to see us who was very obviously drunk but that's another story......

I bought double glazing from someone who was half cut. It all worked out fine.

OK I wore the suit and tie. It was dress down friday, but the woman from HR thanked me for making the effort. The interview went well and she has told me they want me back next week to meet the owner.

I hope all interviews go this well. 1st application and a second interview

Awesome. And now is where you really mess with their heads.

For the boss, you wear shorts, flip flops and a knotted hanky on your head.

Well done though. Suiting up is always the best option.
