Most people are savvy enough to realize that (though of course there are people out there who don't, which is where we have 43 page dress codes in order to spell it all out).Angelahttp://prettyinorange.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-83828757711052605762010-12-23T10:59:05.622-05:002010-12-23T10:59:05.622-05:00I agree, fposte.

As you say, company culture is important, and if an applicant doesn't grasp it, then that is a problem with her ability. That's not a statement about hose per se (about which I don't actually care either way), just about company cultures' tendency to involve all kinds of elements that the savvy candidate may wish to consider.fpostehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04585253003390376993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-53733021828705483042010-12-22T16:29:01.465-05:002010-12-22T16:29:01.465-05:00I just read through the comments on the original p...I just read through the comments on the original post. Wow. I'm so glad that AAM closed the comments. There were some evil folks in that thread. <br /><br />I think you go by the company culture. And the real point is, they should hire you on ability, not whether or not you wear hose.Angelahttp://prettyinorange.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5558939360732260529.post-92069492845248258392010-12-22T16:08:42.934-05:002010-12-22T16:08:42.934-05:00Okay, I missed the original, but I just have to sa...Okay, I missed the original, but I just have to say, are nylons all that bad? I only skip nylons/tights if I'm wearing a super casual skirt in super hot weather.
