I understand all, and very good points. But the recruiter doesn't have any say on your selection. He is merely the facilitator that gets your completed package to the board. At least, that was how it was when I was in.

Everyone's experience will be different, I suppose. Most of the times I saw my recruiter we for minutes to check in or do some other odds and ends. Nothing major. If I were to be going for an official interview, I think everyone would dress appropriately. Social norms are not quite the same today as they were XX numbers of years ago.

I thought the recruiter gives a brief summary of the candidate in question, and may put not recommended, recommended, or highly recommended. The recruiter may not be on the boards themselves, but in essence, they can dissuade the board with a bad review if they do not like you.

You still want that recruiter to work hard for you. If you look, sound, and act like a bag of ass, he's not going to put the time and effort into what he perceives is a weak candidate.

Well for those of us that weren't the preppy jock type I recommend some sort of personal grooming and clean clothes. I showed up with quite a bit more hair than I have now and in jeans and a t-shirt. You cant go wrong with dusting off a pair of khakis and a polo but I think recruiters have an ability to tell good candidates from bad ones anyway.

BINGO. The "diamond in the rough", if you will.

Hell, even Richard Gere with his love of Gerbils got in...

BINGO. The "corn in the shit", if you will.

fixed.

fixed.

Hah, curious take on it. Still, no amount of fancy clothes wearing will polish up any turd either.

It totally is man. Chilidogs, chillicheeseburgers, fries and onion rings. NOM NOM NOM. I don't go there but maybe once a year or so because it's that greasy.

You need to go visit Ben's Chili Bowl up off U Street metro stop if you haven't already.
