Attention out of work techies. You may want to consider buying a suit and cutting your hair. It seems 35% of CIOs prefer suits followed by 26% for khakis and a collared shirt.
The survey I cite here was done by Robert Half Technology and consists of interviews done with 1,400 CIOs from companies across the US. The companies all had 100 emplyees or more.
