I know I can nail the technical questions but I’m worried that i look sleazy.

The additional context wasn’t necessary but I wanted to see how the photo posts are formatted for lemmy

    Yeah you’re right, I don’t usually wear this and it does feel weird. The pants, belts and shirt combined were only 40 dollars so I was really worried it would look cheap.

    I appreciate the advice immensely.

      You look good. Have interviewed tons of people in my time. What you put together should be fine.

      And if that’s not good enough for some places you probably don’t want to work at them anyway.

      It’s not about the cost of the clothing, it’s about the intent to appear professional at an interview. Trying is good.

      I’ve seen people rock up to interviews wearing hoodies and tracksuit pants. So yeah dressing appropriately shows you’re interested.

      You look good! Good luck

      I’m 8 years into the IT space and got my start at a help desk as well. Now I’m running a team for a large international company.

      I’m not sure if Lemmy supports DM’s as I haven’t explored it much but please feel free to reach out to me with any questions etc and I’d be happy to give you some tips! You got this boss. 💪

      Looks sharp, I learned a little too late to do the “Military Tuck” when the sides got a bit bunched up. It can really help clean up the look with non tailored shirts.

        I appreciate this advice, since my wedding is coming up soon and I’m thinking this might be an issue with my shirts. Would I need a belt to make this work? I’m planning on wearing suspenders.

          I am not sure. I think as long as your waistband has enough tension to hold the fold in place it should work. Otherwise you may need a belt. Congrats on the wedding.

      If you have time to take your clothes to a tailor they can make it fit much better. It’ll usually only cost around $8-15 and it made a huge difference in how I feel in my clothes

      I wouldn’t worry that it looks cheap, it looks like you’re putting in effort to look professional which matters more.

      And also it doesn’t look cheap to me.
