Interview Appearance

  • Dress conservatively. Suits for men and women. No pantsuits for women.
  • White shirts are preferred for men. Double-breasted suits are fine, as long as they are conservative colors.
  • Women should ensure that their skirts are an appropriate length for sitting.
  • Men and women should understate or avoid cologne.
  • Make sure that shoes are polished and accessories are kept to a minimum.
  • If you have long hair, make sure that it is neat, or pull it back.
  • Remember that you are striving to ensure that your appearance is appropriate, professional and not distracting.
