Networking and first impressions are valid and important. Just don't overdo it by being judgmental and petty based on nothing more than the color and fabric of an applicant's clothes. Not only may that applicant not subscribe to your cultural beliefs but that applicant may be making the best of a limited wardrobe. If the applicant has a good application, gives a firm and confident handshake, looks you in the eyes, and exudes knowledge and confidence during the interview, get over the seasonal fashion stuff. |
All of this x 10.
