    I, personally, would never wear a kilt to an interview unless I was trying for a job in a scottish store. I waited for a social environment to spring the kilt on the unknowing folks I work with. The Company Party. My MacRae USA Kilt, Argyll and matching tie. Now every one knows me.

    I think not

    I would not wear my kilt to a job interview unless it was relevant to the job required. I have to admit it is only appropriate to wear a kilt in a non working environment.
    Most companies including mine want a commitment to the vacancy and willingness to be part of a Team - wearing kilt sends out a mixed view on commitment.
    Even in Scotland few businesses require emplyees to wear a kilt so even there it would not be adviable for an interview.

    Ok, maybe I should explain my position. I am in product development. I have 6 patents. Being in product development requires innovative, thinking outside the box, not afraid to take a chance, buck the norm (rebelious?). To me it sounds like a scotsman. Did you know that 10% of all nobel prizes have gone to scotsman?

    So, should a product development engineer be a conformist? Isn't that against what is required for new development? Just asking.
