I feel a little odd posting here, as I have replied to one thread but otherwise just "lurked", but here goes nothing:
I managed to get an interview through a temp agency for a job, with the understanding that I would be dressed at work everyday. They were fine with it.
My girlfriend helped me get ready, as she usually does when I dress (makeup still kind of stumps me sometimes), drove me over and dropped me off where I thought the place was. It turned out to be about two blocks up, so I kind of panicked, but managed to find it.
The interview went well, the manager said I looked believable (I would have prefered lovely, but I won't quibble :-P) so she didn't think I would cause any disruption with the staff, so she was prepared to offer me the job. She said, tho, that I didn't seem very comfortable or confident being dressed as I was, was I sure I could handle it all day every day? I wasn't sure then and I am not now. I could have taken the job and not dressed, but by that point I was so embarassed and nervous I just told her she was right and I would have to think about it. Now the job has gone to someone else, so the opportunity is lost :-(
I ended up walking about a mile to where my girlfriend was supposed to be waiting, she had decided to go somewhere else first and I ended up waiting outside for about 20 minutes, thinking that everyone knew I was a guy in a skirt suit.
Now I am not sure I did the right thing. I would love to have a job where I could dress everyday, I think, but I choked so badly when it was offered that now I'm not sure. What do you gals think?
