Had to laugh at the name of this outfit. I guess that's why they are 3d vendors now, since every time they wore an outfit like that to a job interview, they failed to get the job.

depends on the job
Well, it doesn't say what kind of job V's going to interview for. (Auditioning for the Sharon Stone part in a 3D remake of Basic Instinct, maybe?) And given the DAZ-verse, she's probably competing for the "job" with a couple of V4s in Pretty3D outfits, so in comparison...
if the job is 'exotic dancer' or 'porn actress' it works
Kinda looks like what a secretary for an evil mastermind might wear.
Why, it is just a basic fitted dress with a jacket. I saw several outfits like this the other day at a friends office when i went by to pick her up for lunch. Without the jacket, it would probably be less appropriate for many workplaces, but I have seen plenty of business suits for women that are that short and expose as much.
I think it would be fine for a Concierge, or maître d' at what looks like a luxury hotel in the promo. A jacket might help, yes.
I sooo need to get that Evil Mastermind position....
Additional morphs are included to make the skirt longer, so it seems fine to me. I've seen people wear far more provocative clothing to real world interviews.

What someone may wear at work is not the same as what you should wear when you interview FOR work, which is the point the O.P. was making. As it is, this outfit violates most of the suggested guidelines of just about every source, which consistently suggest knee length skirts, conservative shoes, conservative blouse and jewellery, etc. .

Naw...
We very much do live in a world where if you wore that to an interview, the hiring manager would find 20 other reasons on your resume to hire you, and act like that outfit had no bearing on the decision.
Its not right... and while the management class hasn't always caught up with the rest of us on these things, even people who believe their above that kind of activity will often do it and tell themselves it was really that list of 20.

Wearing a knee length skirt, and conservative blouse to an interview has never helped me land a job
I had to laugh when I checked out the link to the clothing referenced.
Being a gay man I'm continually amazed at what women think looks good on them.
Perhaps this outfit would be the corresponding gear for a man's job interview.

Why not? Bet you weren't wearing the right shoes...
But women are not likely trying to impress gay men when they wear something like that. :)

I'm confused about what being gay has to do with that to begin with. But then, I used to dress very business casual (trousers, flats, camisoles and cardigans) back when I worked in cubeville, and that always went over just fine; and every office had one or two ladies who dressed like Victoria here, and that went over fine, too. They were hired based on their qualifications, and so was I.

Me neither, but I'm a 6' tall, 280 lb guy with a greying beard.

Bet it's the shoes...
I think the bottom line is that nobody would or should wear this kind of outfit when interviewing for a job. Once you actually get the job, sure, you can wear this kind of outfit to work all you like.

I'm not sure what LeatherGryphon meant either; I think it's a stylish outfit that I'd certainly take notice of in the real world. Maybe it's a practical outfit for a 3D model to wear to an interview after all when her job is mostly posing with no clothes on while standing in temples holding a sword.
HR's can be a strange lot. At one time we had an HR that admitted she didn't hire someone who was well qualified because she didn't like her shoes. Hence my shoe comments. What the heck a person's shoes have to do with anything is beyond me.
Being a straight man I have to note that... the outfit under discussion in the thread DOES look good on them, to my eyes at least. ;)
I would immediately find myself needing to switch to my "super polite and you are young enough to be my grand-daughter" face... because... reasons...
And here in San Francisco, the man's outfit, if I'd worn it, probably WOULD have gotten me at least one job I didn't get, and would likely have landed me a promotion at another, or made me layoff proof like similar to it did for the 1 gent who survived the layoff there in 2000. :P
(First company way a gay-owned "film" studio needing a web designer, second was a straight woman owned design studio and half the staff would have qualified as 'pretty boys' - self included at that age and minus some of the pounds I've put on since... :D )
I'm NOT saying I think any of that is justifiable. Just that well... sometimes HR will not hire someone because of their style in shoes, and sometimes they will...
depends on the HR, if straight male (or lesbian) they are only human and may hire her regardless of qualifications but a two edged sword it may lose her the job with a straight female HR or very conservative male one.
Really people. Skirt above the knees=pornstar? Skirt totally obeys fingertip rules, which was always the dress code standard for me. Also most of those job interview articles were terrible: your skirt must be knee length, and you can't wear anything tight, but don't look frumpy.
Now over-thinking everything, being a real dress of a similar look would still be quite different. Even if the fabric were knit it still wouldn't cup the breasts the way this dress does.
Given that the dress isn't falling down it would actually have to be made of a fairly sturdy, not particularly stretchy material, and as such would not be nearly as tight on the waist, and again not cup the breasts.
As an aside one has to take into account the models for the dresses have longer legs and bigger breasts than most. On a model with shorter legs the dress would be 3-4 inches above the knee. Likewise in the real world, someone with that chest size would probably not wear something strapless for the simple reason that strapless bras work less well as ones cup size goes up.
I worked for IBM in the late sixties and was sent home (more than once) for wearing skirts too short. Heck it was the age of the mini-skirt so I followed the crowd. IBM did not. ;) The more things change...
I would like to see how this dress looks in a sitting pose
Greetings,
As someone who's currently job interviewing (and fundamentally disqualified from wearing that outfit in SO many ways) I had to laugh at its name. That said, it went into my cart right quick, because I love that shrug!

would be very nice posting a sitting pose - please ?
I wouldn't recommend an outfit like that if you are on an in-house project. The wearer might get a mite chilly. The work areas are maintained at 55 to 60 degrees at all times. The heels are against policy. One inch heels, no platforms. That came down after one of the PA's "fell" off her spiked heels, broke her ankle and the company had to pay Worker's Comp.
A suit made out of the skins of my vanquished enemies?
