You get one chance to make a first impression and how you dress sets the initial tone. Below are some tips for your interview attire.
Research the culture of the organization and the dress code.
Even if the workplace is casual, some employers expect candidates to dress up for the interview. It is appropriate to ask about the appropriate dress attire for an interview.
Choose clothes that fit properly, that are comfortable and durable. Always make sure your outfit is clean and ironed.
If you wear a suit, choose darker colors, such as dark grey or navy. Wool blends last longer and wrinkle less.
Skirt and pant suits are both appropriate.
Button dress shirts and ties or blouses should be worn with your suit. Choose neutral colors.
Dress shoes and socks should be worn with a suit. Shoes should be clean and shined. If you wear heels, select a pair that you can easily walk in.
Keep jewelry and accessories to a minimum. Perfumes or cologne should be avoided, as many people are sensitive to scents.
