A help desk position isn't rocket science so I wouldn't worry about a lack of "white collar" experience. Also, you can absolutely afford a suit or blazer/sport coat. Go to your local Goodwill/Salvation Army/thrift store. You can often buy basic blazers for like $10-20, and if you're lucky you can find a suit for not much more. EDIT: Also, there's a whole interview megathread: http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3553582 LogisticEarth fucked around with this message at 11:40 on Jun 2, 2014 |

If you're absolutely SURE he can't fit into jackets at the thrift store, I would suggest looking into braces/suspenders (buttons, not clips) for his pants rather than a belt. As a recovery fatty myself, it looks a lot better than your gut all cinched in and/or hanging over. Also, tailoring isn't the end of the world. I think every adult, no matter the income, should have a bit of a budget for clothing. It's the difference between looking like a slob and looking like you take care of yourself. The latter conveys all sorts of messages about attention to detail, diligence, etc.

SiGmA_X posted:I would recommend buying a navy or charcoal blazer at some point in the near future. There are some great cheap sources, such as Jos A Bank or Men's Warehouse. I would go in person and get fitted, and then get it tailored after. I know nothing about obese clothing sizes and tailoring as I am on the far other end of the girth spectrum. Maybe it's not as needed? Tailoring is almost more important for fat guys than really skinny guys. Once you get up into the Big & Tall section body shapes will vary wildly. To accommodate this, cheaper suits are usually cut to wear like a tent. I'd say it's still worth a trip to thrift stores as you might get lucky. But like you said, for help desk a suit or jacket aren't really needed.
