I feel terrible, I always heard to go to a job interview in a suit no matter the job, better to be overdressed than underdressed ect ect.
>Get Interview scheduled for Pep boys
>Quickly find a suit that fits me, find one in menswarehouse and get a red tie also
>Day of interview, suit on, slacks, polished dress shoes.
>Drive to pep boys
>I say Im there for an interview, the person who i think was the manager behind counter tells me to wait.
>I wait 5 mins check my watch and ask again.
>He goes in the back and tells me its already in session.
>Freak out and tell him "Thanks"
>Go out and sit in my car
>20 mins pass by contemplating what to do.
> see about 5 people dressed casual, shirts, khaki pants and no dress shoes walking out with papers in hand.
>Drive home, decide to never wear a suit to an interview ever again unless its absolutely needed
Did i fall for a long age meme? Not a big loss anyways i didn't really need the job.

I felt like an autist, completely out of place.

The only moment I wear a suit is when I apply for jobs. And none of the jobs ever required me wearing a suit.
Sure, you might look like a monkey, but it shows your dedication.

And when you take a seat you can just take the jacket off to look less formal.
>>1097183
No man, its just makes you look unaware and hungry for a job
>>1097166
If I understand your story you were late for the interview anyway, so what's the suit have to do with anything
>>1097166
You overdressed for a lower quality job.
You wear a suit to interview at a bank (arguably the lowest job you wear a suit for) or apply for a loan.

OP, the corporate standard from my knowledge is one tier above the standard attire. If you are interviewing for your standard mcjob or blue collar work, a professional formal button down with a tie and khakis will serve for any occasion.
For anything higher, where every day you will wear a white button down with khakis and a tie, full suit.

I never understood wearing a suit to apply for a loan.
If I'm making six figures, have well over six figures in the bank and have a 800+ credit score, why can't I go in wearing jeans, tennis shoes and a t-shirt?

It's a meem ya dip

Rule of thumb you dress for the role you're applying for. As in, if you're trying to become CIO, you wear an expensive suit. If you're applying for McDonalds frycook, you wear a button down shirt and a decent pair of slacks.
As >>1097298 said, you were late, so the suit was a non-factor. You would have been fucked regardless. Next time, get to the interview on time, shit-for-brains.
Dress as nice or a little nicer than the person interviewing you.
It's not that hard.
Also: as someone pointed out, you were fucking late. That is the ONLY THING that matters in this discussion, not how you dressed. Next time, don't be late to the interview.
there is nothing wrong with being over dressed
but fucking pep boys?
1/10 apply urself
>>1097596
How did you wear a suit AND slacks
>>1097345
Trudat

Wouldn't they feel threatened by that?
I reckon they wouldn't like someone one-upping them.
