What would you do...

...if you had an interview at a place that had a reputation for not hiring women? (especially if you *are* a woman *and* really want the job?)

I'd go for it, but I'd avoid appearing overly feminine or like a male impersonator.... it's a tough line to walk?

Thanks. *nods* My hair is cut short and I'm going to wear slacks and minimal makeup (foundation and lipstick). It's just frustrating, because I feel that I would have a really good shot at the job if it wasn't for the not hiring women thing. Gah!

I'd wear a necklace or earrings or something, too.

Hmm. That raises another question, actually. I don't know if you remember, but I have two holes in my ears. I'm just wearing one set of post earrings right now, but I don't know how noticeable the 2nd set of holes are. It might be better to put in a 2nd set of post earrings.

And you're right, a discreet necklace might be good as well.
