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.
Do your research on the culture of the organization and the dress code. For an interview, dress one step up from the dress code.
Even if the workplace is casual, you are expected to dress up for the interview.
Choose clothes that fit properly, are comfortable and durable. Always make sure your outfit is clean and ironed.
Most students choose to wear a suit for an interview. Choose conservative colors, such as dark grey or navy. Wool blends last longer and wrinkle less.
Skirt and pant suits are both appropriate. If you choose a skirt, make sure the skirt is long enough to cover your thighs when seated. Avoid high slits.
Button dress shirts and ties or blouses should be worn with your suit. Choose neutral colors. Avoid shirts that are too form-fitting or sheer.
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 all together, as many people are sensitive to scents.
