Girls who show up to a job interview in short skirts: Whats your take?

I'll save us the effort.

When I was around that age, it was low riding jeans, lower back tattoos and visible thongs. Before that it was shirts that showed off a lot of stomach. Before that it was the mini-skirt.

I just think that most young females don't have enough self respect or morals or both to know the difference between looking sexy and looking slutty. I guess I'm just getting old, although even when I went to HS I thought things were getting a little extreme. I blame the parents.

I see nothing unprofessional about this whatsoever.

Her - "Gee sir, don't people usually have mirrors on the ceiling, not on the floor?"

I think that's the common perception from the older generation. I think we went to the same HS, around the same time, so perhaps we saw the same evidence.

Yeah, coming to work in shorts and a wife beater.....very professional.

Same thing applies here.

I think you'd be hard pressed to convince anyone that that constitues "Plenty of evidence" that "Most young women are a bunch of slutty whores".

Unless of course you want to play the Edmonton PB's trump card. I which case I will retire from the debate.

That was the evidence I had in mind actually.

That and obviously I was using hyperbole.

her - "Why are you lying on the floor looking up my dress sir"

Me - "Back problems .. . . Giggity"

Yeah, but put a hot chick in shorts and a wife beater (preferably without the mustard stains)...

IMO girls who dress slutty to get jobs are just setting themselves up for "creepy" boss or another co-worker to get the wrong impression......blah blah blah, she quits her job and presses charges

who's at fault?? the creepy boss or the slutty dressed girl ??

I know I am jumping into this a bit late but:

This is a gross over-generalization and a ridiculous statement on top of that.

That is a total trap. There is no concrete way to "prove you wrong". Another ridiculous post... but I'll still do my best, below.

There is a huge difference between dressing slutty and being slutty. Huge difference. Not to mention, what is sexy and what is slutty is different for each and every generation so your opinion is coloured by age.


Now for my evidence:

Data collected in 1988 and 2002 suggest that for both males and females, the trend is for sexually active Canadian youth to have fewer intercourse partners.

Girls should never be showing any skin in a job interview. And this isnt the first, infact lots of girls come in dressed like complete sluts for interviews - excuse my french.

Sorry for going a little off topic above but to respond to this original post, as objectively as I can:

I think that it is unprofessional but I also don't think the woman should be judged by her appearance. If she is otherwise intelligent and has a good resume, references, education, qualifications, etc. then I think she should still be hired despite a questionable interview wardrobe. Wardrobe can always be addressed.

The old "but your Honour, she was dressed like a tramp" excuse just doesn't cut it any more.

fixed.

[kermitology]

If she displays appropriate skills for the job, and can answer questions that challenge her professed abilities in the resume, then she is a strong candidate for the job.

Nail her during the interview.

[HOOT]

^^^ Luckily no one was behind me after that post!

Good catch Thor

That was hilarious!
