I really like your outfit...I'm totally with JS. I really like your outfit idea. There's also generally a lot of walking if they're showing you around the building/campus, etc., and being in a suit is just way more uncomfortable for that. <br /><br />Also, hey! I just reviewed a manuscript for our main journal today and was totally not like that. I'm a nice reviewer! I know some are real jerks, and I'm really sorry that happened to you. That was a really shitty thing for them to say. It always feels like a punch in the gut to me. When I review, I try to include some positive comments, even if I have major issues with the paper I'm reviewing. One time, I was super pissed about a review my paper got and I wrote a fake Response to Reviewer that was sarcastic, laced with 4-letter words, and kinda mean. Obviously I then wrote a real Response to the Reviewer that was all "I see your point, though ..." It was really cathartic to write the first one and laugh about it. <br /><br />Have a great weekend!Aliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10715046132281175549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-753685376168608657.post-63758894667895513472015-01-23T21:11:04.052-05:002015-01-23T21:11:04.052-05:00Oops, seems first comment didn't post?
Don...Oops, seems first comment didn't post?<br /><br />Don't wear a suit! It makes you look weirdly corporate/out of of place if you're in purely academic environment. Your outfit sounds good. In my basic science field, the interviewees were always sticking out for being well dressed, where well dressed = smart casual/business casual, and the rest of us were more science casual.<br /><br />If your profs don't wear suits and you'd feel weird showing up in their office in a suit, don't wear a suit. <br /><br />this is one time I feel like girls have it easier-- I wore a cute/conservative wrap dress that was uber comfortable to all of my interviews. It was somewhat preppy/neat, but not stuffy like a suit.<br /><br />If you're going on interviews that are more professional/clinical/corporate, then I'd consider a suit. But really-- a blazer is almost always overkill in these situations, in my experience as an interviewee, recruitment coordinator and interviewer. <br /><br />Also: editors are losers. Even more loserish: advisors who won't get your manuscript back to you with revisions so you can send it out already. Grr. JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730134189350353270noreply@blogger.com
