A few years ago I applied for a Java role at an animation studio. They told me up front to come dressed casually and for some reason I suspected this was some kind of trap (you know, see if I actually respected them enough to wear a suit). When I turned up I was shocked to find both interviewers in tee shirts, shorts and sandals. Then I looked around and the entire (extremely youthful) workforce was dressed similarly. Needless to say I felt a bit silly but fortunately I got the job (even though I was older than everyone else I could see by a fair margin) :-) -- And loving it, -Qu0ll (Rare, not extinct) _________________________________________________ Qu0llSixFour@gmail.com [Replace the "SixFour" with numbers to email me]
