[ale] OT: interview. Tie? Jacket?

[Robert L. Harris]

Wear the suit, leave the Jacket off until you get out of the Car to go in
the building,  Once you get in the interview ask "Do you mind if I remove
the Jacket, it is a bit warm".  You want to show them you are willing to go
the extra step beyond just your technical skill set.  When you get up to
leave, put the Jack on and straighten it. When you get back to the car,
throw it in the back seat.
