TOO MUCH OF YOU: I try to keep my eyes where they belong in a job interview. Ridiculously short skirts make this difficult. I once moved an interview out of my office and to a more public room so that I could interview her across the table — her legs beneath the tabletop.
Another time, at a job fair, a woman dressed for the world’s oldest profession worked the room as I silently prayed that she would not come to my table. She did. I did the interview and then told her she had the shortest skirt in the room and would look more appropriate for our profession if she wore a longer skirt or slacks. She later told people I had been mean.
