True, *when* they get in the way. But that's entirely another topic,
and one that is outside of the scope of this list.
The topic at hand is (was) "should I wear an olive colored suit to an
interview". Rather than respond with a platitude, I thought I'd share
a real-world, honest, opinion. Take or leave it, it's worth every
penny you paid me for it.
For those of you who missed it, and care (ha!), I prefer to see a
candidate who is wearing a suit, regardless of the color. To each
their own...
