Impressions only with no provable basis in fact:

1. As a hiring manager, I prefer women to be wearing skirts. It strikes me as more formal -- and the job interview is a formal occassion.

2. As much as I love great legs, short skirts really strike the wrong cord in a professional environment.

3. In the workplace (as opposed to the interview), slacks, pants are OK. It's nice to see a mixture.

4. If TV really does "mirror" what we think life should be (I'm not saying it does, by the way, but some have), I think that "professional" women generally are portrayed wearing skirt suits in situations like lawyers in court, etc.

5. You generally can't go wrong with some degree of conservativism in the way you look on the job, and I think that means skirts.

Most of the above are simple opinions, but have grown out of a lot of years in the professional world.
