KBH 7 Posted February 17, 2010 The Wrong Watch and Other Random Reasons You're Not Getting a Job Filed under: Interview Tips, Job Searching Tips Print ArticlePosted Feb 15th 2010 6:38PMBy Jason Alba It's not right to discriminate against you on any of the big things, like race, religion and gender. But we all know discrimination exists, and sometimes there is nothing you can do about it. Unfortunately, discrimination doesn't stop with the most common biggies (race, sex, age, etc.). Here are some minor, weird things that also might also hurt you during a job interview: Your watch. The rules of "watch-wearing" all depend on the location, the industry and the company. Wear an expensive watch to an interview for a minimum-wage job and you may be perceived as over-qualified. Wear a cheap watch to an interview for an executive job, and well ... (Note: This also applies to shoes). You may even fall victim to watch discrimination if you don't wear any watch at all. A watch on your wrist shouts "punctuality" to a lot of HR professionals; not wearing one suggests the opposite. (Sorry, electronic devices just don't pull the same weight.) ............and more random uninteresting shiite! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted February 17, 2010 ......interesting info.... On a side note, I've always been told to dress according to the job you want, not the job you have. To some degree it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JohnG 41 Posted February 19, 2010 Just use common sense - forget about trying to guess what the HR person is going to like or not like, just don't draw attention, wear something nice, but discreet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
