Dress

[asterroc]

In an attempt to find evidence other than anecdotal that women tend to talk themselves down and understate their abilities and that mean talk themselves up and overstate their abilities, I instead came across this set of advice on how women should dress for an interview. Am I the only one who finds it insulting that a State University webpage would perpetuate sexist requirements such as "Always wear hose to interviews"?

Unless, of course, you are interviewing for a job in a medical, research, or animal care field. In that case you would be rather silly to wear a skirt, hose, or any shoes that aren't waterproof and don't cover your entire foot.

(Yeah, made that mistake myself when the vet then giggled at me in my pant suit and dressy shoes and told me it was a practical interview)
