I was not able to find a white shirt my size. 15 1/2  32x33


That's an incredibly common size, and white is an incredibly common color. That really should not be hard to find, and you really should be wearing a white shirt for this- the gray would be utterly unacceptable, and that blue should only be worn if you're absolutely desperate. The only other acceptable color would be a light blue.

You really should try to find a more appropriate shirt. A white 15 1/2 32/33 should not be hard to find. Nor should a light blue as an alternative for that matter.

But in the whole scheme of things if you are dressed in a suit an tie you have the clothing part of the interview covered. Just because your chosen shirt is not ideal should not work against you.

It ultimately comes down to you and how you present yourself to those interviewing you. A well dressed zero is still a zero.

No. Dress just as neat. Nails cleaned. Haircut. Shave. No heavy scent.

I guess I might as well pitch in. That shirt is awfully dark. A white or very light blue is what you need. Tell yourself you're the greatest and arrive just a few minutes early. And smile.

The rest is all good advice.
