No Tie to Interview
What are your thoughts on not wearing a tie to an interview in real estate? Generally think of real estate as less "formal" than your traditional finance positions. Do you think it is acceptable to interview without a tie? Maybe just the suit jacket/pants?
Thoughts or automatic ding?
Um, definitely wear a tie? There's no potential downside to wearing a tie, but there is potential downside if you don't -- the people who are interviewing you might think you're not taking them seriously. as a general rule, if you have to ask about it being acceptable or not, it's probably not
I walked by one of our conference rooms a couple weeks back and noticed a kid in an interview who was wearing a sweater with a dress shirt underneath. This was on a Friday. I guess this kid thought casual Friday’s were implemented in interviews as well...
I seriously do not get what goes through some people’s heads.
Dont wear ties. More chance for me to get that job.
I went to an interview with a recruiter in 1995 at age 18 for a warehouse position in Sacramento. She asked why I was there for a warehouse job in a suit and tie. I told her that I thought every interview is supposed to be in a suit and tie.
That day she referred me to the branch manager of a national finance company for an interview. 20min later I had my first interview. A week later with the district manager. They hired me.
That's how I got in to finance.
Where the suit and tie my friend.
