DO/would you wear a kilt to a job interview?

Kilted, you'd soon find out if the company valued compliance or results. If they are seeking sheep to baaaa to their tune, and you wanna sing along, probably not a good idea. If they happen to be looking for intelligent free thinkers and looking for new ideas to improve a kilt would be just the ticket.

I wouldn't wanna work anywhere Einstein couldn't get a job because he didn't comb his hair....

I voted no because you didn't say what type of position it was for. I too also run my own business so it really is not an issue.

Yet I could think that it would show them that you think out side the box, but the problem with that is getting past those who cannot.

The only answer I can give is, maybe. Frankly it depends on how much I want the job, and who I would be interviewing with.

I haven't worn a kilt to a job interview, but I'll give you an example of how it might work.
I was at a black-tie function with my partner. Every man in the place was wearing a black tux--except for myself, and the key note speaker. The latter wore designer blue jeans and a velvet jacket, and I wore my ancient hunting Matheson with my Argyll jacket. Later in the evening, the key note speaker approached me and told me that he thought I had chutzpah and that if I'd been looking for a job, he would have hired me first and asked questions later.
The man in question is the CEO of a major up-and-coming corporation, who has received awards for staff engagement, unconventional [and highly successful] marketing and customer interaction.
Wearing a kilt at the right time and place? Priceless.

If I had been out of work, I would have said: "See you bright and early Monday morning."

I voted yes just because there was no middle ground between yes or no.

For me it would have to depend upon the job I'm applying for.
If it was a position I thought the wearing of a kilt wouldn't hurt my chances in an interview, I would.

Its like when I interview & wear a long sleeved shirt to cover up my sleeved (tattooed) left forearm. However near the end of the interview I will ask their policy regarding the display of tat's & then reveal mine (just so you don't think I'm totally deceiving them ).

Best of luck on the job!
