Proper Attire To An Insurance Interview

[ksigmtsu]

I like to show up to interviews in pajamas and houseshoes since that's how I plan on working.

I put my big boy pants on lately and went to some appointments in canvas slip on shoes, a polo and shorts like I was playing golf or going shopping and closed every one of the appointments.

It matters a lot more how confident you are and how much you know than it does how you are dressed, as long as you're clean and put together.

Beemers and Benz's to "impress" are so 1980's. Now it just says "douche." If you want to impress someone get an Audi. And for heaven's sake, if you want to lie about what you really make, at least don't get a C-Class.

There's legal repercussions...and my buddy who tried to go BK will gladly tell you. Owning a luxury car and sliding downhill financially doesn't play out too well. Aside from zero sympathy from everyone, in my buddy's case the judge cited his S-class as a sign of financial irresponsibility.

That said, if you want to display financial success all you really need is a car that's within 3 years old. It's one of the reasons leases are so popular.

Even with that said, you can get away with an older model car if you keep it in very good shape. I used to give a sh*t but got tired of sleepless nights with financial concerns....so for now my year 2000 Pontiac runs perfectly fine. BUT....what if I went to a high powered job interview - VP position for some large company and they saw me pull up in that clunker. Negative effect? You bet.

How do you wear an office suite?

I can wear a suit just fine... but a suite? Kinda hard to do.

C-Class means you wish you could afford a real Merc.

Expensive car means expensive car payment so that schmuck will do whatever we tell him to so he can continue to make those payments.

Wearing a suite is very uncomfortable!

That is why they have rentals!

...better get a rental with your same state's tags. Also, wouldn't really work if you were trying to impress on a job interview. Then you get hired and have some 'splain'n to do.

Yep, and you have to know what you're looking for and get up close to realize its a rental now days. Perfect for the job interview as long as you don't let them walk you right next to the car.

Damn it! What should I do with my C-Class? (At least it has a supercharger).

Why? They'll never ask, and if you do just tell them your car was in the shop that day. As long as you never discussed your car, no lies told. I seriously doubt you'll ever have a hiring manager tell you that your car sealed the deal. Too much of a gray area.

....tell you - wouldn't be a bad idea if you were meeting some kind of corporate client if you were starting up a business on a shoe string budget. I'd be all over renting for that situation.
