I've got a Job interview tommorrow. IT work at a private university. Every time I go into one of these things I have to remember how to retie my tie (odd because I'm pretty good at it) so I go to a website and brush up on it. It seems that there are three basic knots: the full windsor, the half windsor, and the four in hand. Which knot do you prefer for which situations?

I'm planning on using a four-in-hand. Easy and neat, about the level of causualness I'd expect from the position.

Whatever knots my mom and dad know.

I use the Windsor, usually. (I think that's what it is, anyways...)

I use a half-windsor myself, but that's just because that's how my Dad taught me how to do it. Easy to remember, over under over up through.

I learned the Four-inhand myself, as the diagrams were too confusing that morning. It was first day of junior high, and I was going to a uniform wearing school...I didn't have time to decipher the other two diagrams, so I just stuck with the Four-in-hand ever since. Looks alright too.

There's more than one??!!

Be distinctive: Get a collarless shit with a button-clasp.

i usually never bother with ties. too annoying to put on. as it is i still don't know how to make a proper knot to wear them anyways. i can count all the times i've actually worn a tie on my hands.

with a Nehru jacket perhaps? Simply shagadelic, you crazy hippie space cat!

Wear a Bolo Tie!

Just attach it directly to your chest with roofing staples.

Four in hand.

Three and a half hours of talking.

Four groups to interview with.

I got home and found out they're checking my references.

Gotta hand it to the four in hand.

If your honestly basing your success on how you seccured a damn tie around your neck, that's really sad.

Clip on.

If I was honestly asking for tie advice on a sci-fi forum that would be really sad!


Besides if it wasn't the tie it would have to be skills, experience, personality, or somesuch.... And what's the likelyhood of THAT?

I use clip-ons.

If they have the eyes to notice the knot in your tie, they'd only take notice of, and be impressed by, a Full Windsor. Everything else is just bourgoisie....

Doesn't fucking matter, as long as it looks good.
