Today, I was kicked out of a job interview at a clothing store for "not dressing appropriately" for the occasion. I'd purchased my outfit from the same store just two days prior with my last $100. FML

Did you point that out to the interviewer? I'd also like to know what it was you wore. Just because a company sells halter tops and short-shorts doesn't make it an appropriate outfit to interview with.

Yes, if you want to work at Victoria's Secret, you don't show up at the interview wearing a silk teddy and fishnet stockings. I'm hiring, though, and that outfit will totally work for me;)

Technically, I think either would have been correct. The interview "belongs" to both the interviewer and the interviewee.

You could always just forget the clothes all together and stand on the side of the road. I'm sure that would get you some money.

Just wondering why on earth someone would blow their last $100 on AN outfit, a SINGLE outfit, for a job interview and not pay attention to what the other workers were wearing. Also, have you not heard of Goodwill stores and thrift shops? You probably could've gotten a full brand label outfit for under $10 that would've been appropriate.

My suit ran me roughly $35 at a Deseret Industries thrift store. That includes the shirt, pants, and coat.

You don't wear the same old clothes for a job interview. I'm guessing that clothing store isn't pant suits for women.

If you are applying at an underwear store, you should usually wear clothes over top if their stuff...

Just because they sell it, doesn't mean it's "work-appropriate" clothing

So does that mean you go naked?
