Still a tie for first interviews. Told him, when In. doubt dress a notch higher than what you feel you probably should. Told him if he runs a blazer he can always dump it and a tie and spin it down a notch.Do they even wear ties to interviews anymore? As casual as things have become I honestly have no idea. Been a long time since I've had a formal interview. I knew the job for the last one I applied for so I made the personal choice to no tie if I remember correctly.
