But job interviews can be like dating ie fake.
Put on the only shirt and pants you have and get your first haircut and shave for 3 mths cause another sucker is gonna pay ya for doing nothing.
"Country" or people growing on farms are generally used to working hard.
Unless your looking for a "suit and tie" it shouldnt matter much, though the hard part in any type of relationship is seeing past that.

It's true that you can't tell a hard worker from a lazy worker just by how they're dressed. But I'm sorry, coming in to an interview with your pants sagging, pre-frayed(ripped up) jeans, is stupid because nobody will know whether or not you're a good worker, because they won't hire you.

But I understand my view is kind of harsh because my mind is in a different place than most of the people coming through the door, my eyes are on promotion, better jobs. You don't need a suit and tie, but for the love all that's good and decent, be clean and presentable, dress with some dignity.

I totally agree. But really, how hard is it to iron a fitted business shirt, button it up, put on slack and wear some nice black dress shoes ? lol Not to mention wash your face and take a shower, wear unscented deodorant, put on 2 sprays of 9+O and own the interview?

Exactly my point. Why skate by when you can dominate the game? It's not that hard to go buy some button down shirts, dress slacks and shoes. Even when I was getting unemployment checks, I invested in nice clothes... people thought I was working and even "doing well for myself". Image isn't the only thing that matters but it makes a difference. A big one.
