My husband is an Engineering Manager for a manufacturing company. He has been trying to hire a new engineer for several weeks. It would be a good job for a new engineer, so he has advertised at local colleges. Last week a newly graduated engineer showed up in jeans with a hole, a pocket T-shirt and carrying a spit cup!!!! A spit cup at an interview?!?!? In my opinion, that wouldn't be appropriate even if your interview was for a farm hand position. The sad thing is my husband said the kid would be great for the job, but I don't think my husband is going to hire someone who carries a spit cup to an interview.
