What To Wear To Hiring Event

what to wear to hiring event, seems like a weird question but not really. The company holding the even is sysco so it's a more hands on job. The drivers appearance does matter but I also don't wanna go in in formal wear and have them think I'm a sissy who can't roll up the sleeves and get his hands dirty

Don't go crazy but don't go in ripped up dirty jeans and a guns n roses tour shirt from 1989 either. Sysco has company uniforms if I remember correctly, gray pants with a blue and white striped button down shirt. They still look professional but are there to work.

so let's say cargo pants, boots, and polo Would be acceptable then?

Nothing. But. Socks.

Dude has a point. You're going to be doing a lot of lifting and clothes will just weigh you down.

But on a serious note, dress casual. Nothing too fancy but don't look like a bum either. I don't think you can go wrong with blue jeans and a collared shirt.

Your attitude and personality will be huge. Make sure you smile and be polite.

Be clean and awake. Don't need a suite but do not dress like your homeless or some hipster hippie college student :-P ...

Most interviews I've gone to in recent years has always been "Business Casual". Dockers or slacks with a polo or button down shirt, no tie. Usually do black running shoes, not too dressy nor too casual. They are kind of a cross between a tennis shoe and loafers, professional looking and very comfortable to wear as an all around shoe too.

Google can be your friend... use it wisely. :)

When I interviewed with Sygma Network (owned by Sysco) I went straight from work and wore my River City Rush shirt and jeans. Then at orientation for Prime I wore my Sygma shirt and jeans. Probably not recommended but I got both jobs.

Get rid of the surly attitude and greet your interviewer with enthusiasm and a firm handshake. Remember to make eye contact!

That was embedded in the image above and that right there is huge in my book. Big time. I always talk about what a big deal it is to have an awesome attitude. It will make a major difference in how people perceive you, how much you enjoy yourself, and how well you ultimately perform at whatever it is you're pursuing.

There will be plenty of reasons every day of your life on the road to be miserable and plenty of reasons to jump for joy. Even the more ordinary days can be quite long and eventful. If you're friendly with everyone and you really make an effort to keep a great attitude and get along with people it will make a huge difference in your trucking career, I promise you. Take me at my word for that and give it a few months and you'll see exactly what I mean. You'll get along with your dispatcher , you'll get great miles, you'll talk your way into getting loaded and unloaded faster, you'll talk your way out of tickets from DOT officers, and you'll enjoy yourself more. There are a ton of benefits to just being an enjoyable person to talk to, as simple as that sounds.

Polo shirts are great. Nice jeans are fine. Just super ordinary stuff. Do like the quote above says with everyone you come across, especially the first year of your career. Just smile a lot, work hard, and listen closely.
