A SUITABLE JOB OPPORTUNITY
The old expression, "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is not a bad rule of thumb when hoping to ace a job interview. Wearing a suit and tie can actually work against you at a company like Urban Planet Mobile. OliverSmith says he annually interviews Duke MBAs who come dressed for Wall Street – instead of an office where men and women often wear jeans.
“People are told it’s better to be overdressed, but that’s not correct,” he says. “It’s better to be culturally appropriate. Sometimes if they’re wearing a suit on the second interview, I have to tell them to relax.”
