I'm applying for a govt. job. They need a different thinker. It's the vaguest advert I've seen, looks more or less written for me. Position needs social separation but in a team enviro.; I'll be very different to what's there now, I'm more working class (among other diffs), these folk are not. I need to maintain that difference - some separation is not difficult as I'm not social - most people don't know that; I present as norm (and have done for 20+ years), I can't maintain a different act/manner for long, but I can look different.
I'm Caucasian, male, 1.92m/6'3", solid, short beard (some kind of beard is essential), late 50's, skinhead cut (could be changed), and a serious mien. Women warm to me, some guys (mainly jocks) find me threatening. I appear confident and unflappable.
Right now I'm a slacks, tidy check shirts and workish footwear, and a Western hat if it's hot - this new job is an office enviro, tie's, suits, all that. There's acceptance of extreme difference though. I've never thought clothes, things important, but here I need something. A friend (with dreads) said it was apparent I wore my dreads on the inside.
What, if anything could I change? Have any of you done this? I have a friend who wears a cowboy hat in a professional environ, plus diff. colours to get separation, and others who do other things, but IDK what would work for me. |
