Mohit is taking you to slavery days. Don't keep your file on the table, Don't lean or keep the hands on the table, respectfuly do this and that, etc etc; I am wondering if one has to really bend his back so much to earn a dog collar. If you are really good, you will be in, irrespective of whether you wear a Jeans or a T-shirt. I am not recommending that one has to be disrepctful but you don't have to compromise your dignity to get the Job.

Hi
Even if it was an interview for a junior level (e.g. customer care executive) at a BPO, the attire of jeans and t-shirt / casual shirt is absolutely negative. It would reflect candidate's callousness and short term attitude. To appear smart, and to maintain a decorum of personal behavior is not at all like bending backwards to get the job. Yes, it is true that your technical skills are important to get the jo, but to succeed at workplace for a career, one needs to have strong values and graceful behavior, mutual respect and people skills as well.
The inputs provided by Mohit are quite fair. There is nothing colonial about them - I would say it is more in the mindset of people who see his comments that way.
I had also given my inputs for GD / PI., esp for B-School interviews. You may refer to that at http://www.rediff.com/getahead/2007/jan/22msg.htm.

i believe that the views written by Mohit is very much right & relevant. whatever he is saying about Dress code & conduct is very true. Definitely Jeans & T-shirts should be avoided while going for corporate interviews.
