One person showed up in leather pants and cowboy boots. Another wore a plastic skirt. Yet another was dressed in a cat suit.
Problem was, this was not the attire on display at a costume party. These were outfits that prospective employees wore to job interviews, according to a survey by the Office Team staffing firm.
“That’s not the right way to go about interviewing,” said Jennifer Vasicek of OfficeTeam.
Uh, obviously.
OfficeTeam surveyed 670 human-resources managers in the United States and Canada recently and asked for the strangest interview outfits they had seen or heard about.
Other wardrobe combinations that made the list: a “Star Trek” T-shirt, jeans with suspenders, yoga or exercise clothes, Gothic-inspired clothes, a top held up with a big safety pin, and a blanket worn as a shawl.
