You want him to strip down to business casual mid interview lol?

LOL @IBA1 not that dramatic. I interviewed at a small HF once and they told me I could lose the jacket. I took it off and just draped it over my chair. In hindsight though a striptease might have gotten me the job

Full suit and tie. You can always dress down (take off the tie or jacket) but you can't add clothing if it's not there.

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

Hi all, I have a solid background in social media, but have also dabbled in paid media, SEO, etc. I thought having a lot of skills would open more doors for me to get out of social… but now it seems I’m not specific enough based on jobs I’m seeing and my lack of interviews. What is your experience? Have I spread myself thin? Do I look unfocused? Should I have 5 different resumes for each skill?

Questions:

2. How do you handle double standard at work?
Example: Another designer in the same position refused to do certain work and you have to pick it up, and your supervisor plays favoritism, leaves you high and dry, and brushes you off for not being able to figure it out yourself?

How do you deal with non-accepting family members? I don’t make it a thing, but I’ve been advised to take off my tie and change into more feminine clothing around them. I am okay with not discussing my personal life, but I don’t feel comfortable changing my dress. So I just don’t keep in contact with those relatives. A therapist told me that I am not secure in my gender identity if I am not willing to take off a tie and show compassion to a family member who would be upset by it? Am I selfish?
