I have worn a kilt to every interview so far. Actually I am in the process of interviewing for a job this summer. They have a two-interview system where they do it in groups and then call back some people for individual interviews. I plan on wearing a kilt to the group one and pants to the individual one.

Why? Because I have a pretty limited kilt outfit, and a very diverse pants outfit. That's slowly changing, but still. I like the kilt for interviews because it shows confidence. It already takes guts to wear a kilt, but to an interview? Double-guts.

Also, everything I've interviewed for so far is interested in diversity, and a kilt is one of the ways a white male can look a little more cultural.

All that said, I have a pretty impractical idea of how to interview. I don't like interviews, because I think there is always an obvious "correct" answer, so the interviewer doesn't actually meet the person, they just meet the person's attempt at being an ideal employee. So, I don't do that, I just act like myself and answer everything honestly. Sometimes, that has great results because some people appreciate honesty. Sometimes, it is a bad idea because some people don't recognise honesty.

So yes, I'll wear a kilt because I like wearing a kilt. It's like Mr Plumbean said: "My house is me and I am it, and this is where I like to be, it looks like all my dreams." My kilt is me and I am it.
