...but was the best dressed there.
You scored brownie points for that one.
Reminds me of one interview where I was dressed up schmicko in a new suit, spit-polished shoes, spit-polished hair while the interviewers looked like they'd just left the unemployment office after a drinking binge the night before. They did mention that informal attire was stated
as an option for the interview and why was I dressed up like Trump at a board meeting? I responded by saying when it comes to professional meetings, I dress according to the importance I place on that meeting. This gave me a bucketful of brownie points which they cashed in for me when they pointed out I missed a question on the application form.
In reality I overdressed because I was too scared of being underdressed which globally is a BIG interview no-no!
