But I always make it a point to wear 1 tie in office when I am meeting suppliers (even that they are my contacts and had been friends for years).

i keep a tie, pair of shinny presentable shoes, a jacket... all hang behind the door... but sometimew by the time i resigned, they were still unused :D

 

just curious, i can understand a tie for meeting clients or bosses, but why suppliers?? ... Jap suppliers? [;)]

To suppliers that I am smarter than them and dont try to screw me up.

And actually, I am giving them the impression that I will screw them up [:p] .

My first day of work I wore a tie....

Being the clown of the company as no one else pulls up one.

 

after you get the job...it is wise to ask for the dress code in the office....after first day, i guess you can observe and act accordingly liao

tie is one of the very few accessaories man can wear.... it shows how serious/ respect from you to your interviewer. just like a female going for imterview must make up (simple, not those mamasan makeup)...

in the medical line. the tie is actually the biggest spreader of germs, bacteria. Thus, Drs wear bow tie and there are increasing no of ppl not wearing tie bcos of this.....so the best compromise is mandarin collar lo

No. Excuses.

Should be their index finger.

 

....digging their nose ... or even bs and then ask patient to say AHH......

Depends on the company culture, the position you are applying for and the industry.

 

There was once when i wear a tie to the interview, the interviewer told me no need as he thinks a bit "overdress", just decent shirt and pants.

i've had clowns who came for an interview for senior positions wearing jeans.

 

needless to say, it was a very, very short interview......

In the building construction industry, a certain senior appointment often mistaken for junior one by the respective Employers. So most of the time they got the wrong men for the job or complained no suitable applicants, or no applicant.

Likewise, in some engineering/technical appointments, it is a safety hazards/against safety regulations to wear even loose clothings, not just a tie.

The titile "Manager" can mean a job which commands a salary around 5kpm in some companies, but in some MNCs, the salary starts at 10k.... so some candidates get it wrong and show up in different attires... :D

 

VPs a dame a dozen in many local campanies/banks, but some companies use the same title for very senior positions as their 'Managers' already draw 15kpm :blink:

Agree. Can be quite subjective to the occassion/participants. Example: years back, my Head of Department arrived in coat and tie to attend a sponsor's ceremony. His superior and the Sponsor arrived later dressed smart casual. My Head of Department immediately took off his coat in order to blend with them.

 

This is a classic case.

 

Imagine the HOD came in smart casual and his superior came in tie and coat??
