Between the VP interview and the "murder" board, the VP told me I should go across the street to the Macy's and buy a tie. I informed the HR rep via email while I was at the airport that I was no longer considering them as an employer. I would say that if you aren't the sort who is comfortable in a tie, then maybe the position isn't for you. | |
