I am at ML in the midwest and I wear a suit everyday. If you look like a chump, you will be perceived as one. I guess some companies don't care about professionalism.

Yeah, but you're a professional.  This forum is teeming, absolutely teeming, with goofballs who will tell you that if you wear a suit you're going to offend your clients because they wear casual clothes.

Not a one of them is doing numbers large enough to make it at Merrill, but they figure they've got all the answers.

It is to laugh.

I'm in my twenties, have never worn a suit, wear shorts more often than ties and manage over 70MM with all age 50 plus clientele.  But I'd never make it at ML because I don't look professional.

I think being good at what you do is more important than how good you look doing it. [/quote]

Yeah, you're believable, “brandnew”…....<?:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

Either his mom and dad won a 70MM powerball, or he works in the Caymans, laundering his Bermuda shorts with his clients' 70MM

I am a newbie, and I really like their tv spots with Tommy Lee Jones.
I sent out resumes to most of the big wirehouse brokers, but no one has called me back.

I also sent my resume to Ameriprise…I have yet to hear from them as well. I have years of sales experience in real estate and mortgages.

Is there anybody hiring out there???
