The attire you should avoid when interview.
You need to spend some time to read the email content posted here, else you may ignore this post XD
This email actually I have received pass few day, I think may share out here, for part of my memory. XD hahah
Before that, I clarify here that I am a graduand from UTAR. keke
Here goes the letter from UTAR alumni ([email protected]) sent one email with the title “Complaints from a Group Manager about the attire of UTAR graduates and students”
And.. the contents goes down here..
Dear graduands and alumni, especially those who are still looking for jobs,
This email may be important to you, please read on this letter written to UTAR by a “Group Manager from a chain of companies”. Although his comments might not be true about the majority of you, but would definitely jeopardise career opportunity of a lot of our garduates.
“I am writing to you in response to the several interview I conducted with
your former students for various position within our group of companies. I
have never come across such ?interesting grooming? that set a very bad first
impression to the interviewers. I wonder if you have any specific guidelines
on student attire during interview as well as in your campus? I am sorry to
have questioned both of you on this matter but let me relate my ?wonderful?
and ?eye washing? experience with you.We have received 18 applications from your former students for an interview
and eight of them came for the interview from last week until yesterday but
all of them have been rejected in the first 15 minutes. They do not know
what and how to wear in showing respect to the interviewers. Among some of
the fashion fauxpas includes blonde or colourful hairs, short sleeves or
raised collar shirt, messy jeans, ¾ pants, slippers/sandals, chunky
necklaces and bracelets. One of them even came for the interview as though
she is going ?clubbing?. This is office work and in executive position. How
can they wear like these to an interview?I further went to your campus in Setapak this morning to personally look at
your students attire and I got a shock of my life. Your students did wore
singlet, ¾ pants, sandals and messy jeans to class. When I approached few of
your students, they simply said its allowable in the campus. In fact, one of
them said the lecturers like it so much?May I advise you that students MUST respect the University, the lecturers
and other co-students by wearing appropriate attire in the campus at all
times. We cannot allow students who bore part of their flesh and body hairs
in the campus. What had becoming to this generation?s students attitude and
behaviour? Where are their discipline? Being an educator, shouldn?t it be
our responsibility to ensure students? characteristics are well formed here?I sincerely hope UTAR can look into this matter seriously and come out with
a more stringent guideline with regards to student attire. Obviously, we
want to avoid any possible incidence that could have happened as a result of
baring too much of our flesh in the campus. I understand that UTAR students
are very much sought after in the labour market but this record can become
history if the newest generation continues to wear inappropriately in the
campus and carry the same mindset when they look for jobs in the market.For your information, after such incidence, we have decided not to proceed
with interviewing the balance ten applicants. UTAR students may be good
academically but it?s their character and well being that counts during the
first interview.”Last but not least, some advice from UTAR: You can be as fashionable as you wish during social interactions, but for formal occassions, especiaoly like attending interviews, it would be advantageous to be vigilant about your attire, gesture and hair style, ie. formal office attire is preferred.
Thank you for your attention.

Haha, I really feel funny for this email. It did cheers my day abit when I first reading on it.
I personally feels that there are some students nowadays that do not serious in what they have live for. Would it because they are easily being influence by the environment that are media-rich and fashion-rich? Haha XD
But for this case, the party that goes wrong should be on both side lar. Both UTAR and those students themselves. UTAR may need more time to emphasize their rules and regulations. Helo Prof. Chua, you want to make UTAR into International Grade one right? kaka XD Then the student themselves also wear nicely abit lar at least give respect to ownself. Wear like that to interview, it just let people know that you do not respect yourself also.
So.. what do you wear normally when attending interview? =)
Although my lab work doesn’t require formal wear, but I wore formal dress (the “botak pic” in my previous post) for all the interviews attended :-p
haha, ya..bravo marccus, finally got email subscription d…i will publish a post about this too, maybe few weeks later, i wish to suggest the uni make tis (sofr skill, career development training, co-curicular/volunteery as part of the credit hours)
whether they like it or not, at least they got exposure. it’s hard, but eventually they will gain the benefits.
haha, we have much better career development and sft skills training, that’s y i come out this idea

It is that 8 student’s fault for not wearing the proper formal attire to interview, not the rest of the students fault. I for one, know perfectly how to present myself during formal occasions as much I wear 3 quarter pants and fashy cloths to school.
I am not a UTAR lover anyway, and I am not coming from the point of “pro-utar” perception.
That manager is obviously shallow anyway. Because of 8 students and he impatiently goes to judge the rest like that? Wait till you see the students in other school.
whoa….test test
I just feel like, students or parents or Uni oso have to responsible on this. all are to blame! wakakaka…
But please don judge every UTARian in this. haih…
