1. What Hiring Managers Look For - Nick Armstrong from Psychotic Resumes talks about a Ladders UK survey.  He specifically pointed out the stats on how applicants dress and that they may be more important than the actual interview:

For Men, the fashion-based interview killers are:

1. No tie (52% say fire)
2. No jacket (50% say fire)
3. Chinos (50% say fire)
4. Polo shirts (66% say fire)
5. Jeans (82% say fire)
6. T shirts (88% say fire)
7. Leather jackets (70% say fire)

For Women:

1. Short skirt (60% say fire)
2. Low necklines (95% say fire)
3. Sports shoes (91% say fire)
4. Dangling jewelery (99% say fire)
5. Bare legs (94% say fire)
6. Big shoulder pads – ala 80’s style – (97% of bosses say big shoulder pads are wrong for interview)

Are these extreme - yes.  Are they shallow - yes.  But you can’t say you didn’t know about this before going into the interview.  Know how to present yourself and sell it.
