But as humans we judge. Everyone judges and makes assumptions based on all sorts of thing. How you dress can say a lot about a person so if you dress a certain way, then it’s likely people will perceive you in a certain wayWhether that’s a true reflection of who you are or indicative of the message you may want to portray, people will judge. So people can’t complain if they dress a certain way and people form opinions.
different people will judge differently - there is not one immutable truth here and how each person judges says more about them, the person judging, than about the person being judged. I doubt very much the way I would judge is going to the same as the way you would judge.[/quote]
But the onus isn’t on the person judging, everyone judges differently. It’s not them that is going to suffer the ‘consequences’. The person judging is indifferent.
What you have to bare in mind however is that some will judge. So if you turn up for a job interview in shorts/T-shirt and flip flops there’s a high probability that you won’t get the job because they’ll assume you’re not taking the time seriously.
Now that’s a reasonable judgement is it not? Some would argue it’s not, as what difference does clothing make to how well someone could do a job?! That’s a fair point.
So you see, it’s not the interviewer that will suffer the consequences, even though he’s the one judging. It’s the person wearing the clothes.
