Agreed, don't listen to all these guys recommending. a more conservative tie. I suggest wearing a piece of string, rather than a tie, as it projects a deep sense of humility for the position your interviewing. In the interviewing process myself, and have received some great feedback. Not once have I left an interview without some extra change, an MD once even gave me a ten after the interview before I got on the elevator.

Lavender as a color has a strong connection to femininity, giving of vibes of caring, emotion, and naturally nuturing. This can mean that you're friendly, often ready and happy to lend a helping hand with an agreeable temperament. This can be helpful in an interview environment, showing that you're a team player and not likely to bring drama to the office.

Just like the flower that bears its name, lavender is associated with the youthful, untamed growth found in the springtime. Symbolizing youth and vitality, as well as ingenuity and creativity. This kind of outside the box thinking may serve you well in an SA role.

Additionally, lavender is closely linked to intuition and mystery. Inward thinking and not naturally living in the moment. This leads to a prefering to day dream or getting lost in deep thought, perhaps even spiritual thinking. This could lead to the interviewer thinking that you're not a diligent worker, which would not be the impression you want to give.


It's a slow day at the office and I've used considerable bandwidth trolling around google for this shitpost to say, that at the end of the day, it doesn't matter. Rock whatever tie you want.

 

Certainly something as trivial as the color of one's tie 'doesn't matter' but there is still an unspoken etiquette for degrees of conservative office attire (we're not talking about, say, a neon blue suit or something) and am wondering if this particular tie/color is impactful enough to matter in the interview.
