talent is nothing

If someone believes that they are so incredibly good at what they do, the way to demonstrate that to me is by doing it, not by flaunting their ego, wearing a t-shirt to communicate the fact.

This is an environment where just knowing your own work is not enough. If you're in my office wanting to join a studio project I need to see that you understand how to conduct and present yourself, too. If you value the whole I-wear-t-shirts-for-everything deal and won't lower yourself to showing up dressed a little bit better, no sweat or hard feelings - you'll doubtless find employment elsewhere.

Like with the teamsters, carpenters, or grips. Those are jobs where it *really* doesn't much matter, how you choose to dress for interviews.
 
C'mon, Grinner, don't skew the facts. We all know the definition of arrogance.

You hate the t-shirt thing dont you?
lol
I work in a comfy shirt and shorts and that's just the way it is. Barefoot, bitches!
Some shooting gigs require black. Cool. I'm still comfy. When I work with politicians sometimes I have to wear a tie. I get that. Again, catering to the client is no handicap of mine. A boss telling me to wear a button up and some dockers when no client is in the house though.. he always got a snicker like I thought he was kiddin'.
 
I come to work in a t-shirt and flip-flops, sometimes. There are plenty of times when that's perfectly reasonable. Just never to interviews.
