Dress to Impress

Posted by admin at 9:31 pm

Ever deliberate over whether or not you should wear a suit to an interview? Don’t. While some industries and some professions may allow casual attire in the workplace , erring on the side of business professional is always the best policy. Whether you’re interviewing for an entry-level position or an executive-level position, showing your interviewer you can look the part is a must.

Men should shoot for a solid color or at least conservative pattern suit – neatly pressed.  Socks should be dark with matching shoes. If you want to exude some personality, the tie is the place. (Leave the fish or piano tie at home.)

For women a solid color conservative suit is also ideal. Limit jewelry and accessories (including perfume and make-up).

In an environment where first impressions carry so much weight, don’t lose points due to your dress. The competition is fierce in the job market so it behooves you to position yourself in the best light.
