I want to only do work where I can wear my jeans and don't believe in dressing up to impress. Plus I just don't want to dress up. For my interview for my last job in Canada, I did a "minimum" of dressing up in dress pants, a turtleneck and nice shoes. Thereafter, my boss (a wonderful lady) never saw me in anything but jeans, but I did dress up a bit at the interview, as many interviewers may still expect that from you. However, when I came to Prague to work as an English teacher, I went to several interviews and decided to see what would happen if I wore jeans. Although one guy didn't like my appearance (an older, apparently conservative and not very pleasant fellow that I'm glad I don't work for), I got work in 2 schools, at least one other offer and apparent considerations, and one lady would gladly have given me work, but didn't have any, so she got me private students! Thus I was quite successful, despite wearing jeans. I do not ENDORSE what I did, however, because that seems to have worked for ME. The Czechs seem to not be so superficial, and they have a need for English teachers. I like it here enough that I'm seriously considering staying, maybe even marrying one of the local beauties. But this may not work in North America or for your particular interviewers, so if you wear jeans to your white collar etc job interview, YOU DO SO AT OWN RISK.
