A guy just showed up for a job interview and isn't even wearing a tie. What does this indicate? At this company all male employees must wear ties, so it's kinda bad when someone walks in for an interview and isn't wearing one.

• Appearance is always the first impression you get of a person, and a job interview is all about first impressions. I told him about the dress policy we have and it seemed like a pretty big deal to him.

• I obviously don't know about the specifics of the situation. If the dress policy for the interview wasn't specified, then you have nothing to complain about. If he's hired, that's a different story. I'm a CEO of a small company (47 employees) I generally do the hiring for all senior positions (our company is mainly, physicians, attorneys, and engineers). If the person is the right one, I don't worry about dress. We too have a company policy, but peer's are the ones that enforce it by pulling the leg of the other guy. It never has been a big thing (even with physicians that like to dress casual).

• I would never work for a company pompous and old fashioned enough to make their staff uncomfortable.

• The average human evaluates on appearance. Actually even animals want the best looking for mates etc. It is silly not to dress for the job you desire. I would not hire any employee coming in for a job dressed like a slug. The world needs slugs, just not by me. I have stalls these people can clean. Very comfortable dress is allowed when cleaning stalls.
