Consider this Free Advice

If you're interviewing for a job and happen to be standing next to me in the elevator please note the following;

1. This is a professional office building comprised of mostly professional people. Therefore YELLING on your cell phone to your friend, "Girl I got this shit wrapped up. They'd be STUPID not to hire me," is poor practice.

2. If the heels on your shoes have mirrors and a 3" clear acrylic base, you're not a "shoe" in for the conservative law firm who's floor you got off the elevator on.

3. Not a soul in this building wants to see your pink and black HelloK*tty bra strap hanging out.

Good luck to you in your future endeavors and I apologize for my chin brushing the carpet of the elevator floor as you departed on the third floor.

Getto schoolgirl strippers make excellenct paralegals. She probably needs a new dayjob.

Nice ... she actually wore shoes like that to a business? Back in the day at a sorority convention some girl wore light up clear-based stripper shoes to our big time-dress coded convention meeting. Along with a bright pink thong underneath her white dress. It was classic.

I actually just interviewed for a new position...the one other guy in my office that interviewed as well was on vacation the week of interviews and told the big wigs that he would have to come in "as is" because he was busy. He came in wearing khaki shorts, sandals and a polo...wanna know what he was "busy" with. A garage sale! Dude even I can wriggle my ass into a pair of dress slacks and shoes in the car! Done it a million times.

So you met me this morning? RAD.

As an employee in a conservative law firm, I can concur that she would not be a "shoe in". She might get a shoe somewhere else.

Was that an unitentional pun?

I would like to also offer advice to the woman filling out an application at my starbucks of choice.

Your boxer shorts covered in basketballs with holes in all the wrong places probably won't get you a call back either.

What is wrong with people?!

And along the lines of Starbucks, we had a "lady" one time (I use that term loosely) come in to apply wearing curlers in her hair, pj pants and slippers. We might've been McD's, but we weren't stupid. No call back for her either.

Apologies for the grammatical errors.
I'd drafted the post as soon as I walked into the office so that I'd remember to share with you.
Rather than save as draft I accidently scheduled it to post.
