Seems you overdressed, Ah well. Good luck anyways man!
What kind of jobs have you applied for? I would never dream of walking into an interview with my shirt un-tucked. Over dressing does not show desperation it shows respect. The only thing that shows lack of confidence is when you act as so.

Well done, D!

Sounds like you made a favorable impression... 40 minutes after the other two guys sounds like you impressed them.

Hope it goes well from here forward. I know they will be getting a hard worker.

Want to use me for a reference?

Anything under $15 an hour and I'm not wearing a tie. At a certain point overdressing does show desperation and lack of confidence...say you apply at mcdonalds......yeah....walmart...yep. Certain jobs all you need to do is walk in dressed decently and be very confident. This has been my case every time. Of course I'm 24 and haven't applied for any job over $30,000 a year.

McDonald's just called, they'll said they'll pay you $15.25/hr as a manager, but you have to wear a bowtie.


And clown shoes.

If you dressed up, you did well. Good choice on shaving the goat cause they don't fly so well in the food industry.

I think you upset some of the gangbangers on here.

Yeah that is true 1/8 of an inch is the longest they usually want facial hair. MAYBE a quarter inch but no longer.
