If I were doing the interviewing, it might. I have an intense aversion
to the color green. Pure prejudice, I know!

I am engaged in a debate about interviewing. Would your company's
personnel department be offended by a college graduate showing up for an
interview in something other than a blue or grey suit? For instance, will
interviewing in a dark olive suit hurt my chances of getting a tech
writing job?
Oh, and if you want to hire me without a suit my whole problem would be
quite conveniently solved. Just a thought. ;)
