[quote=Anonymous][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] If you have a dress code, tell her about it when you hire her. I'm sure she'll comply.[/quote] Also, is this her first round of job interviews after graduate school? It is very, very possible that no one ever taught her that she needed to wear dress slacks and a blazer to job interviews. Coming out of grad school, I didn't even own clothes like that (my science field is very laid back). I interviewed for my postdoc in something similar minus the jean jacket. It's very possible she was only aiming to be neat, clean, and well-groomed and simply did not know that stuffy government jobs were so formal. She could have gone home and kicked herself for days for dressing so casually.[/quote]
