Kilted Job Interview
Where to start? I'm in Tucson for a training conference and its always a great networking venue to catch up with professional friends. On day one a long time friend said he'd changed agencies and wants me to interview with his new agency's CEO and CFO. Okay fine. Then he asks if I brought pants with me because he doesn't know how they'll react to a guy in kilts. Told him all I brought with me was kilts. So, this afternoon was the interview and I was kilted in the Edzel Navy tartan USA semi-trad which is kinda important since both the CEO and CFO are Army veterans...
Interview went well anyway and I now have a job offer to consider. So hey - you CAN interview in a kilt and get hired. Just have to consider all the pros and cons. One of the pros is a significant pay increase and another is being close to my daughter and grandkids who live in metro Tucson.
So we'll see. I've heard a few other men in the Tucson area wear kilts too....even a highland games....
I've become a kilted fixture at the conference. All comments are positive, and "I remember you." Only one dress comment so far and got that with the clarification that if I wore something under it then it would be a dress. Cracked him up.
