Okay, off for mine, as soon as I find lipstick!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Good luck, ita.
So, you mean it would look too much to your current work like you were looking for other work if you wore the suit, Consuela? I get that. I like to randomly wear suits to work just to keep people guessing, but I probably wouldn't if I was really looking. Anyway, Tino be damned, hopefully no one else will notice any spots.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
One interview I had here, I ended up with my jacket over my cardigan over my blouse, and the conference room was SO HOT. I should ask someone if they noticed how sweaty I was by the end.

If an interviewer is going to disqualify me on the basis of an easily-missed spot, I probably didn't want to work for them anyway. Note that is in the presence of otherwise well-groomed appearance.

mr. flea once had an interview and realized after it ended that he'd neglected to shave. His friend Tony once didn't wear socks to an interview, which resulted in the composition of a song that goes, "Socks, everybody wears socks. Hey Tony, didn't your mom teach you to wear socks."
(Both these things happened when they were in college, but were for professional jobs - engineering co-ops.)

In law school, my friend Paul had an interview with one of the big law firms, and he came out of it looking terrible. We asked what had happened, and he told us that when he'd sat down at the table he'd kicked the guy. "Oh, no!" we say, "what did he do?" "He said, 'ow!'" We eventually thanked him for taking all the pressure off the rest of us because who could top assault?
