Dressing for the Interview:
- When dressing
for an interview (or attending a Career Fair), dress appropriately
for the position and company for which you’re interviewing. This
will mean doing some research.
- Your
clothes should be neat, cleaned and pressed.
- Shoes
should be polished and no strappy sandals or opened toe shoes.
- Do
not wear perfume and avoid excessive make-up and jewelry.
- Clean
and trim your fingernails. Brush your teeth and do not chew gum.
- Wear
conservative colors and avoid trendy loud fashions (unless you’re
interviewing for a position in fashion!). Dark colors are power colors.
Pastels are friendly and approachable.
- Only
carry a small scale briefcase or purse (for women) – never
both.
