Interview Dress Suggestions
 
You never get a second chance to make a good first impression. Your grooming and dress are important to putting your best foot forward. Always remember that the clothing you wear should enhance your personal style, and identify you as someone the employer would want as a representative of their company or organization. Appropriate professional dress can vary depending on your career field. Talk to people employed in your field of interest and ask their advice.
 
REMEMBER:  "Image is a tool one uses to accomplish an objective." The way you dress indicates how you want an employer to think of you. The following information was developed from various sources of information. No one particular source was used and this is intended only to be used as a guideline.
