So, I was speaking with my supervisor yesterday about interviewing new hires and he mentioned that during one of his first interviews, one at which he appeared in a t-shirt and ripped jeans, the interviewer set him straight about proper interviewing attire. I responded that when I had interviewed with him for my current job, he had told me that I was overdressed and could be less formal at the next interview, the one with the CEO. Now, I think I was wearing standard winter interviewing attire: a red suit consisting of skirt, blouse, jacket.

Not only did he remember that conversation from 3 and half years ago, but he was also able to describe my outfit, down to the precise shade of red it was.

It must have been a truly horrible suit to be so well remembered. I had never worn it before, nor have I worn it since. Nor will I ever wear it again.
