I am a recent grad, with a Bachelor of Communications specialized in Public Relations. Well technically Im not graduated yet, I need 4 months work experience, and I am having a devil of a time finding a job. So for now I work at Kinko's as a supervisor/project co-ordinator. Which means I tell people what to do, make decisions when the ***** hits the fan and try to keep my manager of the floor and away from the customers. Dress code doesnt allow much variety for anyone, we all wear dress slacks or kakhis, male or female.
I did get the opportunity the other day to go to an agency opening and wore a navy dress shirt with the cuffs rolled up, my blackwatch and green hose and dress shoes. Got lots of compliments, 2 leads and positive feed back from everyone I talked to. I figured I havent had any luck in the job hunt yet so why not make sure they remembered me.
I actually had a company tell me I was better suited for nonprofit/advocacy work and not corporate, so I might have a good shot at wearign a kilt to work some day.
