Short Sleeve Dress Shirt Guy

Do not ever show up to an interview, under any circumstances, wearing a short sleeve dress shirt. I don't care how hot outside it is, or whether it's trendy. It looks ridiculous.

Mr. Candidate, a Sr. Network Administrator, sounded great on the phone. Education, check. Personable, check. Accomplishments? check. So I scheduled an interview for the next morning.

I take one look at the guy when he shows up and I instantly realize there's no freaking way I'm gonna hire him. He's wearing a white short sleeve see-through dress shirt. If that's not bad enough, I realize he's not wearing an undershirt! So there he is, sitting across from me in the conference room and I can't help but notice that I can see his nipples! It was like they were staring at me...

Yuck. I'll bet you can guess the outcome of his interview.

The moral of the story is that you can never dress too well for an interview. And guys? Never, NEVER, wear a white dress shirt without an undershirt, ok? Humanity will thank you for your efforts.
