Many years ago, you could glance at job applicants' clothing, listen to one sentence out of their mouths, and come away with a pretty good idea of how sharp they were. Not today.
I think TV has made the difference. Everyone watches it, and as a result, everyone learns to speak glibly, to dress presentably and to move appropriately. So from a hiring standpoint, when you call people in for interviews, you'll be presented with an endless sequence of applicants young and old who dress well, move well, speak well and make a good first impression. And none of that will give you the slightest clue as to their competence, intelligence or diligence. It only means they've watched enough TV.
