Shoes could cost you

GRADUATES applying for jobs in London’s finance sector risk being overlooked if they wear brown shoes, a government-commissioned report into social mobility said Thursday.

“Managers often select candidates for client-facing jobs who fit the traditional image of an investment banker and display polish,” it said.

Alan Milburn, chair of the Social Mobility Commission, said it was “shocking, for example, that some investment bank managers still judge candidates on whether they wear brown shoes with a suit, rather on than their skills and potential.”
