Hola amigos,
Well i think you would have already read about my earlier two blog posts relating to incidents where i was embarrassed due to a unshaved look and had to lose opportunities due to improper dressing and looks.
Today i am going to narrate an incident where my friend had to lose a huge opportunity due to his improper look.
Ramesh (name changed) is my best buddy and we both read in the same class from +2 and were friends from before our +2 also. We share almost everything between us and always help each other. It is said that a friendship which lasts for more than 7 years lasts for a lifetime, so only 3 years are left for us to complete the 7 years benchmark and then we will be friends for lifetime.
He was usually better than me studies and even though i envied him because he was very good all-rounder but still i did never thought any ill for him. Though he was an all rounder still he had a de-merit because God does not makes anyone perfect. So his demerit was zero dressing sense and NIL fashion sense. He had nothing to do with current fashion and trends and wearing latest styled clothes hardly mattered to him. I remember that i bought clothes every Diwali usually but he would not even purchase clothes on Diwali also (he was not greedy) and even though he bought it would feel like the clothes which are left out by everyone are bought by him. Such was his fashion sense and everyone ignored him because usually geeks are like that only.
This continued and no one told him anything regarding improving his clothing , yes knowledge is good but looks do matter in practical life. He later went on to Kolkata and opted the same course as me and also cleared IPCC with excellent marks infact he also got an all India rank #23, which was very very good.
He always wanted to go to a big firm for articleship training and as he was AIR #23 he would go to any firm that he wanted and it happened also the same. He applied in the big four companies like Deloitte, KPMG, PWC and few others. He got a call from everyone of them and date for interview was fixed.
The first was of Deloitte which also happened to be his personal favorite. He wanted to clear that and join that firm by any means. He got dressed in his usual sense and even though i poked him to dress properly so as to get a good impression he did not listen me and went in his casual way with loose fitting pants ,old patterned shirt and sandals, also with wildly grown beard which made him look very bad. On my telling him to get properly dressed and get his beard shaved his reply was that his talent was going to get his selected and not his looks.
He went away that way only and the same happened that i was expecting. He was rejected as soon as he entered the room. The interviewer did not even gave him an opportunity to showcase his talent. He was very depressed that day and he learnt from his mistake that day and in the next interview he got properly dressed and shaved as i told him and he got selected in PWC very easily infact the interviewer were very impressed by his talent and offered him even higher stipent.
That day he realised the importance of proper dressing and shaved look.
