Worst Interview Disaster Stories

interview mistake bra

The right undergarments can make a huge difference

“Believe it or not, I did have a candidate who showed up without a bra — wearing a silk dress. It was really obvious and made me worry that she would be an employee who didn’t know what’s appropriate,” says the website editor.

The hiring manager shares the opposite story: “One candidate came in wearing a see-through cover up, but you could totally see that she was wearing a bright yellow bathing suit under it,” she says.

Moral of the story: Always wear a bra when you’re going to an interview. Just, please, don’t show off your undergarments. (Hm, although this should be something you do on a regular basis, not just on days when you have an interview.)
