| How
to dress for an interview Even if a company
has a relaxed dress code interviews still follow
a relatively conservative model.
Unfortunately,
many college grads are not prepared. You might
not be able to "get by" with what you
already have in your wardrobe. But you don't need
to buy a whole new wardrobe. Quality is more
important than quantity. One or two nice business
suits will keep you going for a while. To add
some variety within a limited budget consider
varying your shirt/blouse or tie/accessories.
A few basics
guidelines for proper interview dress:
- Conservative
business suit (solid dark color best)
- Conservative
shirt or blouse (white is best)
- Clean,
polished shoes
- Well-groomed
hair
- Clean,
trimmed fingernails
- No gum,
candy or cigarettes
- Silk
necktie with a conservative pattern
- Dark shoes
and socks
If in doubt err on
the side of conservatism.
