What time do you get in to work?

I get it you are having regular group sex with their entire 1st XV front row

Possibly the exact reason why I don't..

I'm an individual and won't act like a sheep. If other people wish to dress alike that is there choice. It's my choice not to.

It has nothing to do with respect for others. Other people gain my respect for their abilities and personalities not for their job titles and what they are wearing. I expect the same from them. No more no less.

The reason I don't wear suits to interviews is because I don't feel comfortable wearing them and hence wouldnot come across at my best. If it was at the sort of place wear not wearing a suit for the interview would be a problem and cause the manager to have a hissy-fit then chances are it's not somewhere that I would want supply my services anyway so no loss.

Once again, I'm engaged for my skills and experience not what I choose to wear

I do appreciate that the majority of managers (especially in sales) do have very little to offer other than the ability to bull**** and therefore at least need to look the part even if they don't provide much value.

In other words the world revolves around you.

They do very good micro fibre cloths for cleaning my car and cheap chamois leather.

Yep, all that sort of cleaning stuff is sold at a price that makes you think you're being ripped off elsewhere.

A discerning contractor always selects the best source for the required goods.

Luckily, I don't need a door bell that plays the national anthem, otherwise, Wilkos is where they'd be cheapest!

Only the ladies side!

8:30 shiny suit for me – only because the whole place finishes at 5:00 and I like to get my 8 hours in. I also do like it that when I get into the tube system and the rush hour hasn’t quite started yet (around 8 am). Shiny suit because the dress code is suit so I may as well wear a shiny one.

Grrr, bloody barsteward contractors wasting my taxes

I'm most upset by that. I'll try harder to put your tax money to better use.

Bear with me I am only a dumb agent after all

But do you not think that you expect everyone to conform to your personal tastes and habits, much like Gordon Brown refusing to wear black tie at functions in the UK?

The last time I wore a suit was two and a half years ago for the interview with the client before CurrentClient Inc. Turned out I needn't have bothered - in fact when they were contacting people directly about interviews (rather than going via Dodgy) they made a point of telling people that they needn't bother dressing up.

For CurrentClient things were pretty much settled down the pub after a conference, but procedures had to be followed which included me coming in for an interview. I asked if I should go to the trouble of digging out a suit, but was told "Don't bother, none of us will be wearing one and you'd probably feel a bit out of place."

Generally speaking I'll wear a suit for an interview unless I know it's not needed. There are people who get offended if you don't, but nobody gets offended if you do. Once in a gig I'll match the client's expectations: if everybody else is expected to wear a shirt and tie, I'm not going to act like an arrogant git and swan around in t-shirt and jeans. It's just good manners to go with their office culture in my view.

Absolutely!
