[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would it be an issue if she dressed for work that way? Was she neat, clean, and well-groomed?[/quote] She was neat, clean, and well-groomed. Just very casual. It made me question her maturity and judgment. [/quote] I work in career development for a university. I would have a fit if one of my students - especially my grad student showed up for an interview like that. The fact that her dress is causing pause is exactly the reason why we advise students in most industries to wear a suit, or at the very least a blazer and pants/skirt/sheath. Her poor choice is distracting a potential employer from her great qualities. I would suggest inviting her back for a second interview, but explain the agency's dress code. If she came through a university contact or alumni network, let them know so that they can coach her (and other students). [/quote]
