>We had a gentleman over to interview for one of our account executive positions… great resume, great cover letter, did well in our initial phone screen.
>He was dressed impeccably in a suit… I stole a glance to a few of the people from my team who had looked up when he walked in. I could sense the disappointment.
>It’s not that we’re so petty or strict about the dress code that we are going to disqualify him for not following an unwritten rule, but we know empirically that people who come in dressed in suits rarely work out well for our team.
>He was failing the go-out-for-a-beer test and he didn’t even know it…
>I told him he could take off his tie and jacket and loosen up a little bit, and he acknowledged that he felt a little out of place but said that, “you can never overdress for an interview.”
>Well, dude, no, actually you can overdress for an interview and you just did. Of course I didn’t say it…
