If you are usually a Tshirts and jeans kind of person whose "formal" means a button down shirt with khakis, then wear that. Whatever stresses you out the least, because the important part is the content of the interview and if you are uncomfortable in your dress, you might just ruin the most important part. I'd say minimum is a polo shirt and non-jeans (e.g., khaki or chino pants). If you feel comfortable in a suit and have a GOOD suit, then go for it (it won't hurt whereas a dirty tshirt and crumpled jeans might).--chris, who used to be HR and hiring manager. |

Keep in mind, though, that there are a lot of bad managers out there. Also, as a manager, I would want to know that you can handle being "heads down" if you have to. \_ Do good managers ask employees to swallow? \_ Good employees will offer to swallow before a manager has to ask. \_ Good employees swallow without having to be asked. \_ A good employee-manager relationship involves mutual and simultaneous swallowing. |

So it doesn't make a difference? \_ He's suggesting cross-ventalation. The best way to lose heat if it's hotter inside than out is to move the air in one opening (e.g. a window) and out another (e.g. a second window or a door). If you don't have the second opening, outside-in is usually marginally better, depending on the exact shape of your space. \_ how would one formally proof that outside-in is marginally more efficient? \_ good luck with that. it's a nice, messy fluid-mixing problem best addressed with computational fluid dynamics. in practice, you want to push cool air in at the bottom of the opening and warm air out at the top to reinforce normal convection. \_ Yes, that is what I concluded by considering normal convection, but it is nice to know this has been proven. \_ not really proven. demonstrable for many parameters of room shape, etc. as suggested by a different poster above. |
