I know it's easy to say "kids these days" all apply for jobs dressed badly, etc, etc, but I think I should point out that in my experience this isn't really true.
I'm one of 9 people who interview applicants where I work and 99% of our applicants are college-aged. Sure, not everyone is wearing a tie necessarily when they come in for their interview, and sure, some of them have pierced eyebrows, lips, whatever, but for the most part out of the hundreds of people we've interviewed so far this summer I can say with confidence that nearly all of them were dressed at least close to appropriately and that none of them were dressed inappropriately. The worst I've seen is someone wearing Jeans and a button-down shirt.
