What, No Cummerbund?

A friend of mine, who has happily traded-in her corporate pins stripes and heels for the clean shirt and jeans of her successful pet care business, responded to my post on flip flops and other outrageous branding faux pas with the following true story:

"As an executive recruiter, I’ll never forget the young man who had just graduated from
an electronics school, probably interviewing for a manufacturing position. His
school counselor told him to dress up so he rented a tux (with ruffled shirt)
because he did not own a suit, and that’s what he wore to the interview! "

Moral of this story? Assume nothing………….
