Sat Jun 8, 2019, 07:48 PM
Jun 2019

and place and interviews require a suit and tie.
And I don't look down on those jobs but you seem to by your inference,
they are just jobs where casual dress/wear is appropriate.
When out on the trail, in Iowa or NH, giving a stump speech you go coat-less.
When you're interviewed in a one on one TV thing or a town hall, wear a suit
The look is termed "Presidential" for a reason.
The real test will be the debates.
if Pete shows up is shirtsleeves then my mock-age level will increase exponentially.

I just took it as a subconscious thing that he may have done without realizing it due to the significant height difference. I've seen men of smaller stature take that kind of posture without even realizing it so I'm doubtful he meant anything by it. I'm very short myself so I can relate.

Who are “they” who strongly advise this? I have heard not to cross one’s arms, but never heard do not put your hands on your hips lol. Every interview I ever experienced was sitting. Sometimes there is a tour around the workplace, but generally people do not put their hands on their hips while walking.
