ok i might be getting a little greedy here, but if you could just answer just a few it would be truly insighful (sincerely) i know nothing about this stuff and would love to learn
sorry for so many questions, but this is the last one i promise, do you do any recruiting or just hiring? and if so what are acceptable recruiting methods? would you ever take anyone to a strip club or use other adult entertainment? what do you think of people who do use this technique? is that in "bad taste" or clever? is it ok to use sex to sell? if so, is it ok for a woman applicant to show cleavage and if so how much?
Not professional opinion, but I know what I'm talking about.
here goes:
bowtie -- NO
suspenders -- NO
cowboy ties -- definitely NOT
belt buckles -- big ones??? no way. dress belts only.
suits not colored black/blue -- shades of grey, beige okay also.
khaki pants with sport jacket -- only on the golf course or country club.
non white/blue shirts -- should always be pastel. thread-width stripes okay.
3 piece vs 2 piece -- 3 piece okay for lawyers and professors, 2 piece for the rest of us.
3 button vs 2 button -- 2 button fine. 3 button, kinda pretentious.
contacts vs glasses -- doesn't matter.
dress shoes with no laces -- doesn't matter.
women who wear something other than pantsuit -- skirts and nice shirts okay.
perfume/cologne -- ok, but NOT strong.
jewelry -- for men, wedding rings and wristwatches only. For women, earrings, rings, necklaces all okay. Anklets, no. Everthing must be non-guady and tasteful. No giant hoop earrings, for example.
