Dress code, anyone? Anyone? Bueller.......

Proper way to dress for an interview!
When I was applying for jobs when I was younger, I was always told to dress to impress! And I did, and it worked. But, nowadays its as though no one is trying. Showing up for an interview in shorts and a ''holey'' t-shirt, is suddenly acceptable attire to  wear for interviews, or if you're lucky to GET the job, you show up everyday, basically in your PJ's. It's not right. I work at a bank, and as a teller, I am required to dress nicely, not a ball gown, but nicely. Because people are going to see you, and treat you based on what you're wearing. For example, if you're wearing a nice suit, or dress, people will treat you with respect. If you're dressed like a slob, you'll be treated as such. 

Let's say you work for an answering service, and no one will hardly ever see you, and one day you show up wearing you PJ pant, and you must use the ladies (or mens) room. You walk out, not knowing people will see you. There you are, wearing your ''Sunday best'', meaning holes in the crotch, and people are staring at you. Same way if you dress as a tramp! Since when did it become OK to dress this way. Maybe at home, where no one-but you- sees you. But when you're in the corporate world, you must have some level of respect for your employers and or employees.
