"If you go goth
in the corporate world,
these tips may come
in handy..."

******


Always take advantage of stereotypes that work in your favor and play
along.

--

Know, and never cross, the boundaries of tolerance in appearance for
your specific profession.

--

Check out how others dress in the company before interviewing.

--

Wean them in - establish mutual respect and then slowly show your true
colors (or in this case lack of colors!)

--

Maintain a professional stance. Dress and act appropriately for
meetings. Sometimes you need to make sacrifices to stay ahead.

--

To help make sure you are taken seriously try to make your first contact
via e-mail or phone.

--

Dress in a manner that is comfortable for your coworkers (within
reason). Compromise enough to establish a good working relationship with
your coworkers.

--

Speak to your HR representative and learn your rights! Technically I can
dress in drag (as long as it is something a woman could wear to work)
and legally they can't say anything to me. Of course that does not mean
they will figure out another reason to fire me! So know your rights but
also know the limitations of those rights.
