All right, trying to decide on what to wear on Friday to the group interview. Black suit wins the overall, but need a shirt/tie combo. Need to stand out a little bit. Right now choices are
1) Purple shirt with purple/white churchhill stripe tie
2) Blue shirt with red tie
3) Classic white shirt with gold tie.
I'm leaning purple at the moment.
White shirt with red tie.
The red tie is all you need to stand out. Black suit and white shirt are historically known to help with job interviews. Wacky combinations tend to keep employers from hiring people, they want somebody they know can fit into the "norm."
Now, if you were applying to Google, I would go with the purple shirt.
