Where do you work?

[Cinnabar]

If I wore a nude suit with tinkerbell butterfly wings, I might still get hired...

ROFL I'll have to remember that for the next time I apply for a job I don't want. I bet it would go something like this:

[HR director] Dr. Cinnabar, I can see from your resume...

[Me in serious tone] Please call me Tinkerbell. Do you mind if I blow bubbles?

[JayFilomena]

[HR director] Dr. Cinnabar, I can see from your resume...
[Me in serious tone] Please call me Tinkerbell. Do you mind if I blow bubbles?

And I thought I was funny. I have tears in my eyes right now.

I'm a marketing associate at a central leasing office for apartment communities. Basically I sit at a computer all day and sell apartments. Joy. I haven't tried to wear a kilt yet, I asked a lower level boss if I could wear one and he said no. I don't think he thought I was serious though. I'm going to try again....maybe just wear one and see what happens

Not very sporting to read all these and not join in.
I am the principle owner of an insurance agency. While I really prefer selling, I do very little. I spend my days teaching business and risk management or dealing with employee issues (I have openings if you know someone).
Other than having no time off it's a great gig. I bring two dogs to the office with me every day and I wear a kilt anytime I want.

I'm Telephone Customer Service for one of America's top financial institutions, hoping to move up to Quality Assurance. Been wearing the kilt since September, 2003. In training, the trainer was going over the dress code. I asked him, "Are kilts okay?" He responded, "Sure, make yourself happy."

The next day I came to class wearing a kilt and he said, "I have to learn that when you ask a question, you're not just asking for the sake of argument, you're serious." I'd also asked running for office and I ended up doing that too. But then re-assured me the kilt was okay and I've been wearing it since for 2 1/2 years.

I went out with shirt, tie, and kilt to represent the company in a job fair, though I doubt I would again. I've interviewed three times for promotion, all in the kilt and I didn't get the jobs, but the kilts never been cited as a reason for that.

I actually worry a lot less about the policy changing on me than I used to. In the first place, 2 1/2 years is a long time to allow something and then change. Second, my center manager told me she'd been reading about Utilikilts and the growth of kilt wearing so its something she's aware of. Third, my performance is such that the company's not going to make a huge to-do.

I'm self-employed doing design and 3d modeling for plastic injection molds and die cast dies from my home office. I'm kilted most of the day unless I need to go to tool shop then its jeans - flying chips, cutting oil and carbon dust from the EDM machines and 'redneck' die makers how just wouldn't get it.

I am a full time kiltmaker and have two other part time jobs. I work partime as an Opera Stage Manager, and I teach Stage Management at a University. I started wearing a kilt in the year 2000 I also got diagnosed with M.S. I have been kilted full time for the past four years. The only time I'm not kilted is when I'm on my motorcycle avoiding speeding tickets...(I do wear my kilt on the bike sometimes but mostly around town)
The kilts have helped with dealing with my M.S. by keeping my body cool.

This has been a very enjoyable thread to read.

I have just been named as the executive director for a nonprofit
agency here in our community.
Our dress code does not allow for kilts at the work place.
I will get to wear them to some of our formal functions.

I am self-employed as a Chartered Accountant, with a general tax and accounting practice. I spent many years with the "Big Six" or whatever they are called now, but have been way happier since I set up on my own. I've gotten my clients to the point where they don't expect to see me in a suit and tie any more, but I'm not really into wearing my kilts to work. Once I leave work, though, . . .
This has been an excellent thread!
