Wear a SS SubC to a job interview?

[Euge]

Wear whatever makes you more comfortable, since you have to be yourself and confident in the interview, if you do a bad interview the watch doesn’t matter.......

You’re a doctor with management skills. Any advice you get here is worth jack squat.

Me personally, I’d wear whatever makes you feel good.

[RJK]

Wear whatever watch that isn't going to distract you during the interview.

You shouldn't be wondering, "I wonder if they're looking at my watch" or "I wonder what that look was for...he/she just glanced down and noticed my watch"...you get the idea. They're all distractions that don't need to be going through your head at the time.

Good luck!!

Wear the sub I doubt they will be checking out your watch during the interview

Unless the interviewer is a WIS or into watches, he probably woudn't notice.

[LINVS]

Wear the Sub for encouragement, but keep that beast quietly under your cuff unless the interviewer gets testy.

I will say differently. Don’t do it. You will give an impression that you are already over paid therefore make it difficult to negotiate a high salary. Let your resume talk and keep it low key.

[dmash]

Why would you need to worry about your watch while interviewing for any type of ‘executive’ position in the first place? You’re not a fresh college grad with zero work experience, should an interviewer expect you to still be slumming it at this point?

I find these threads weird anyways. If you drive a car over $40k, should you also park 1/2 mike away in case anybody is watching the parking lot? It’s kind of silly.

[henrylee]

Wear what you want.

[watchtabs]

Do it. It will give you super powers.

I read this somewhere in this forum and I take it to heart..

The watch I have on gives me super powers.

Off-topic, but I had a similar conversation joking around with a coworker. I told her I might not wear my rolex around family, b/c they would start wanting to borrow money.

[Jimbogigolo]

You’re a physician. I’m sure they know you make enough money to afford a Rolex. That said, by all means... please wear your rolex as you please.

Wear whatever that doesn't distract you nor the interviewer from the main task at hand... you landing that job!

For myself, I keep two "safe watches" when dealing with situations that has a lot at stake. One is my trusty 5513 where you get 3 possible reactions: 1) Indifferent, 2) "Hmm, poor bastard. Can't afford a new watch", or 3) "This guy knows his sh*t"

The other is the Nautilus, if I'm really feeling confident about the situation.

Best of luck!

Wear your most favourite watch; an interview is a rather important moment in your life.
If you have some thoughts on how you might be judged because of the watch you;re wearing then keep it under the sleeve.
Best of luck with the interview !!

I never wear a Rolex to an interview. Some people in the U.K. will judge people on wearing a Rolex, it's a shame but it's true. Never give anyone a reason to not offer you the job. Lots on here will disagree with me and that's fine, but it's my view. I always wear either my old Speedy or my Reverso.

Wear it proudly it is a beautiful piece why would you not want to wear it?

[Tsuge]

Just wear it. I wear my subc all the time when I’m in the hospital and no one bothers me. All the general surgeons I know wear sea dwellers so I’m in good company lol.

Absolutely wear it! Why wouldn’t you?

You should be evaluated on your skills, education and experience and not the watch you wear.

[77T]

If your Sub is iced...



Leave it home...

Now seriously, if your interview is in business attire with a traditionalist decision-maker then I’d make sure the watch I wore wasn’t constantly catching dress shirt cuff. That calls for a slimmer watch. You don’t want to be fighting the urge to tug and pull at your cuff.

If it’s with a progressive leader and more casual attire then it makes little difference which Rolex you wear. But an Apple Watch might send a forward focused message.

If it’s a non-profit (e.g., charity-based or religious-based) that strives to meet the demand for low-cost community healthcare then I’d wear a G-Shock

How much you know about the person(s) who will be across the table is also helpful. If they’re trained in STAR system it may not matter. They’ll care more about your situational awareness, actions under stress and results - not your wristwear.

Yes and underpants aswell

[Pw92676]

Wear it. My take on these situations is that anyone (interviewer or otherwise) who judges you based on your watch isn’t really looking at your watch...they are simply a judgemental person who would find anything to judge you by (your shoes, clothes, car, looks etc etc).

[Kel_Solaar]

Like Del Griffin - from Planes, Trains & Automobiles - you should wear a casio.

[brandrea]

No one is going to notice your watch.

You should be more concerned over the contents of your resume and how you will answer questions. Blow them away with your interview and all the other stuff won’t matter.

[envuks]

For a job like this it’s not a problem at all. Wear as you’d like. I always advise folks if they’re interviewing for a job that comps under 6 figures a Rolex is not a great image to present in the interview.

[underwatersub]

Doesn't matter they will only notice if they are a WIS in which case they will see it positively anyway.

[airchitect]

You’re a doctor. Nobody would think twice about it. Wear the sub.

[AlexWazo]

My wife wore her PP annual with diamonds to her interview and got the job, no one even noticed. I don’t think you’ll have a problem, sub and exp2 are pretty understated.

[lamnyc]

Why wouldn’t you. If you were to rock a rainbow Daytona, that’s a different story :)

Agree: either watch is understated. Wear what makes you confident. If both make you self conscious, don’t wear one. I wear all kinds of mine to work and I don’t hide that I am a WIS. Most could care less about them or my interests. Good luck in the interview.

Unlikely anyone will notice. Most have no idea.
