Brilliant acting! The line between confident replies and nervousness were so well enacted. Especially when the interviewer asks his question, you could see in Will Smiths face the fear, that sinking feeling of something bad going to happen and nervousness! Yet he composes himself and responds in jest. Marvellous!!

At the start of the Great Recession I was signed on at the job centre and it was full of guys in suits who had lost their high up managerial jobs and now they were applying for pretty much anything, but they weren't getting anywhere because they kept going to interviews for basic retail and warehouse gigs in their very expensive suits and ties. I must have seen job centre staff having the 'you look overqualified' conversation at least fifty times. To guys who had come to their five to ten minute job centre appointment in suits and carrying briefcases.

He should have had really nice pants 😂

Credentials and character always overrules dressing nice. But if you’re able, dressing nice never hurt. As we see here he dressed nice but when he got caught in a situation where he wasn’t his credentials and character shined.

Imagine getting the job with no pants on.

Sometimes, separating yourself from the herd even if it makes you seem lesser, is the best way to go.

Lesson were taught through the pandemic. There is social change even in fashion. Dress code rules even in top of the line companies have changed to be in accordance with our times. Plus on your day off , or when you are not still an employee you can dress as you wish. Sometimes employees sacrifice their time off to carry boxes or do hard work like painting in comfortable clothing that could be damaged to keep their working nice clothing in good condition. Employees are not millionaires to dress like Kim Kardashian or J Lo on a workers salary.

thought he might slap them again

At least he was fired or not hired just because his pants were not nice, without considering his quality as a job candidate or the quality of his job as an employee.

How? That charisma and a real "personality" that customers can identify with and develop a rapport with is even MORE vital today whether you're behind a computer screen ("without those nice pants on") or face to face when its very easy to lose the ability to gain or learn that "charisma" because separating oneself from people (working more from home) creates more of a detachment/barrier from easily becoming more comfortable around people to develop it as opposed to being front and center with your contemporaries/ customers on a daily basis.....especially in an industry like Chris' where you have to sell customers on the merits of the product(s) he's pitching....

No slaps occurred in the making of this film.

These days im pretty sure they wouldn't mind

My first job outside the Marine Corps. I had a fresh haircut, wore a full suit w/tie, and had shined shoes for a job in the oil field. The guy who interviewed me had jeans, pullover hoodie, and steel toe cowboy work boots. He looked at my resume while he had his feet propped up on his desk. Said “Hmm hm………hmmmmmm…..(flips the page over on my resume)……..hmmmm…..your hired, go see the HR rep to fill out your W-4”. I literally said nothing lol
