What To Wear To Hiring Event

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.

BINGO! I was hoping that somebody would pick up on the quote from part of the image... in fact that is a big reason why I posted that particular image. thank you Brett, I always love your commentary on such things, much more eloquent than I have the patience to sit and write out. :)

And on another note. If you wear a ball cap, don't wear it backwards. Otherwise your interviewer will just sit there and wonder, "Does this person even understand why his forehead is so sunburned."

And absolutely and positively not chili or burritos the night before the interview. Really all you need to do is look at what the existing drivers wear to work and that will give you a good idea what they are looking for. Sysco wears ****ies and a button down shirt.
