man, i showed up with long hair, a goatee, a Pink Floyd t-shirt (greatest band, ever), shorts and beat to death running shoes. of course that was a different time. When i joined all you had to have was a pulse and a greater than 2.5 gpa in ANYTHING.
But don’t follow my example - dress up. Now that i've been in a few years i do appreciate it when civies dress up to come to a military meeting. I've seen more than a few civie contractors show up looking like slobs and it pisses me off.... of course i'm usually wearing a flight suit stained with various fluids (all from the plane, you sick-o's!)...
I would NEVER show up for any kind of job interview in anything less than a good suit with polished shoes, well groomed fingernails, and well kept hair. Facial hair doesn’t bother me, as long as it’s well groomed, but I’d be wary of having a beard or goatee for most jobs, anything doing with computers would be the exception. When I hit A4s up for a job in a few years, I will even wear a power-tie.
If you don’t yet have a good suit, at least nice pants, button up shirt, tie and polished shoes.
