Dressing for your job interview
by Jess Taylor (July 14, 2006)Casual, business casual, business attire - these are all words that companies use to describe their dress codes. But before you’re hired, what do these mean to you?
When preparing for an interview, always make sure you take your business attire up a notch - no matter how informal the regular company dress code is. Dressing appropriately shows that you take both the job and the interview seriously.
Remember, you can almost never go wrong with a nice business suit! While it doesn’t have to be expensive, you should try to get one that fits well and doesn’t wrinkle easily – you never know how long you’ll be sitting in a car or chair before the interview. Don’t be tempted to dress down, no matter what the company’s regular dress code is, unless you’re specifically told to when they set up the interview! Never underestimate the importance of the first impression you make!
