How To: Dress to Impress

Your appearance during an interview says a lot about the way you present yourself. Over the years, the standard attire and style for an interview has been tailored. Even though styles change, the word to keep in mind when picking interview attire is conservative.

You want to look your best to show the employer that you are committed. This does not mean that you have to be uncomfortable for an interview. You should choose attire that fits your body best. If not, you will be concentrating more on the way you look, rather than the interview. Choose something that flatters your body type. Feel good about yourself!

Here are a few tips to help you get started:

Men:

• Well-cut suit: dress shirt and tie
• Minimal cologne
• Well-groomed facial hair

Women:

• Business suit/slacks
• Dress
• Skirt and blazer
• Tasteful makeup, jewelry, and hairstyle
