Wearing clothes that fit the 'SZ Aesthetic' to job interviews/work

are u hiring? not sure i have the skill sets u need, but i could probably dress well for my interview.

I think it would be harder than you think because I would want you to surprise me.
Then again, if you showed up in blue jeans and a striped shirt it would count as a surprise.

A person who can't put together a set of clothes for a job interview appropriate for the job on offer lacks the most basic skill set expected.

No. Not really. I don't blame introverted nerds for showing up with mustard stains on their out-grown out-fashioned blazers when stuttering applying for a job as a science researcher. In fact the sole reliance on social skills is one of the major reasons behind the decline of the scientific field in my home country.

^ again there's something to be said for dressing the part.

it's pretty common in the telco industry (particularly for consultants/contractors) for the interviews to be all over the phone, for more technical positions most companies couldn't give two shits how socially inept you are provided you have the technical chops.
