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

[MacMillan of Rathdown]

Corporate interview boards are looking for reasons NOT to hire candidates-- everyone they interview is (more or less) qualified to fill the position. Their job is to weed out the cranks, the querulous, the vexacious, the odd balls, and anyone they feel might be a health or legal liability to the company. If they ask about hobbies, pastimes, or social outtings, then it's okay to bring up kilt wearing in passing. Don't belabour it, and don't ask the fatal question: Is it okay to wear it to work? Wait until you have the job before testing the company's patience.

Speaking as someone who worked in the staffing field for four years, your best choice in an interview is to dress as if you already had the job.

You want the interviewer to see how you are going to fit in with the rest of the employees and relate to the company's customers.

So your outfit really depends on what job you are interviewing for.
