Good job video conference interview shirt or poor judgment? I'm on the fence here. Help me out.

Playfully sexual. Is that what you're going for in an interview? What's the job for, sex worker or IT?

I think most would consider that in bad taste for an interview. Is there an underground code of what is acceptable conduct that most don't know of?

But potentially good for an Icebreaker. And it did give me funny shower thoughts of other wording for similar, but slightly less "in your face" verbage.

Which job are you applying for? Lol

Somedays I'm a UI/UX designer and some days I'm a front-end developer. It makes both sides angry.

Here's the shirt I'm wearing now. Designers ask me if I know Dreamweaver. I'm not going to respond," why would I use Dreamweaver when I know react.js? I'll just wear this t-shirt to the interview and they won't even know what it means.

Maybe the Shirt should have read

To the hiring manager of my last job (10yrs as a health care data code monkey) I actually said "I won't blind you with my brilliance, but neither will I baffle you with baloney!" -- it worked 😮

Hmm...Neil deGrasse Tyson considered being a stripper in college...not sure he wore it on his sleeve, so to speak, but, hey, if you wear it and get the gig, at least you know someone in the place has a sense of humor.

Probably better than getting it tattooed

@UrsiMajor I'm inclined to agree with you there.

I write code but it didn't not work for me.

That could be a safer choice...
