Job interview tonight, shirt tucked or untucked *POLL*

[hoxie08 5,000+ posts]

K. Heres the deal. It's really the pre-screening "tour" for UPS. I have a white dress shirt (and white undershirt), black slacks, and black dress shoes. Heres where I come into my problem

I'm 250 lbs, 6'0 ... bad enough lol. When I tuck the shirts in, I look even fatter than I am, but I also want to look professional (as in a tucked in shirt). Not really a big deal of a job, but I still would like to make a good impression obviously.

So I'm gonna let you guys decide whether I should go tucked or untucked //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I did my last interview in khakis, a blue button up shirt, untucked, and some dress shoes. Unbutton the top button, roll your sleeves up, and you'll look suave.

I went into a place one time in wife beater. Tattoos were showing Asked if they were hiring. Long story short I got hired. O and this was at wendys...

My last interview for a steel factory I dressed in a collar shirt and jean shorts. While at the interview the guy straight up told me he didn't like how I came in Jean shorts. I got hired anyway though!!

if it is that proffessional (i.e. black slacks, white shirt) definately tuck it in.

Dang I'm 6'2 200 and I wanted to lose a little fat.

Puts me in perspective.

yeah i was at 180 lbs (looked kinda bad, i'm built too big that I looked weird at 180lbs) but after probably 20 lbs of muscle and a lot of fat im right back up here lol. i carry it good probably because i do have a lot of muscle, but oh well.

"Proper Footwear consists of a slip resistant, sturdy WORK SHOE in good repair with good support. NO EXCEPTIONS. Wearing the appropriate footwear (work shoes) protects the feet from falling objects and objects that you may bump into as well as provide support to your feet while in the UPS facility. Remember to wear casual slacks or jeans and a sturdy closed-toe shoe in order to tour our facility."

see thats where I keep getting messed up... i have shoes, but they arent work shoes, but they didnt say anything to my buddy when he wore the same exact dress shoes..
