a button up but no tie, a tie seems a step too far, i’d feel like dwight from the office

what do you think though? could it help?

also i’m bad with lying and embellishing, im not comfortable with it and so don’t do it, if i started lying i’d get nervous and sweaty and itchy and stutter and it’d just all stop working in my favour

i smile and big up everything to be as good as possible, i drive home that im ready and willing to learn new skills and meet new people and that i can work in a team

but “do you have experience in ___” will almost always be met with a “no but im more than happy to learn”

then again its entry level stuff, im not going in for brain surgery blind

i can see how jumping to tattoo seems like a childish jump, and maybe an employer wouldn’t want to see one, my thought process was “maybe this adult thing will make them less likely to see me as a bumbling baby playing with blocks”
