Dress For Success
Appropriate attire for an interview:
Men:
-
A conservative suit in dark blue or dark gray with a long-sleeved white shirt. The tie should be conservative and in-style.
-
Dark socks with dark freshly shined shoes are recommended.
-
Jewelry should be limited to a wristwatch and ring.
-
Fingernails should be clean and well manicured.
-
Faces should be clean-shaven. Beards and mustaches should be neatly trimmed.
Women:
-
Women today have a few more options when it comes to career dressing, but similar principles apply. Dressing conservatively is still the rule of thumb for interviews.
-
A business suit in a subdued color is best for interviews. Dress in today’s styles, but keep the hemline close to the knee length and keep blouses modest.
-
Shoe heel height should be moderate and comfortable – shoes should be freshly polished. If heel tips are worn get them replaced – so you don’t click as you walk.
-
Jewelry should be minimal and in good taste.
-
Nails should be well manicured and polished in clear, light or French manicure. If long nails are a part of a personal fashion statement, avoid bright colors and glittered accents for interviewing.
-
Make-up should be professional in taste and lightly applied.
-
If wearing a skirt, keep the hemline close to the knee.
-
Keep blouses professional and modest.
