F/u to H's interview wear

[hbomdiggity]

You may recall that I was appalled that my H wore shorts and tshirt to an interview for a management position. Well he has since had 2 additional interviews so apparently they were not turned off. (One was before work via skype so he was dressed normal and another in person in which he again wore shorts.)

no decision yet though.

How funny. I'm glad he's still in the running for the job.

I don't understand how this is possible, except for the fact that you live on the west coast, right?

Because no comprende in the north east.

No, this is not a west coast thing. I mean, somebody may show up on jeans to an interview but shorts don't fly for any job that isnt manual labor or delivering pizza.

We are SoCal, which definitely plays into it. He would have never done this if we still lived in DC.

I happened to flip past our local government TV channel tonight, and the mayor is leading a public meeting while wearing flip flops and a tie-dye T-shirt. For reals.

?

What about the tech industry?

I don't think Mr. Diggity is on the third interview to be the Domino's guy.

I don't know much about the industry, but I'd still say no. Obviously Mr. Diggities potential employer is an exception, but I refuse to believe the west coast has gotten so casual that it's the norm in any professional sector.
