Interview Attire

When going into an interview for a business position people always trying to be the best there is in their field. However, there is more than being book smart or social. Dressing for success tells an employer more about a person’s character than anything they can say or do. Dressing professionally tells employers how you are going to act once you are hired, which should be like a professional. If a person wears clothing that looks like they just came from the farm gives a first impression that can never be taken back. An employer will often look at that and immediately think that the person is not well educated in the field that they are interviewing for and not get the job, even if they are the most qualified for the position.

In a business interview there is a need to be professional in appearance and conduct, but when dressing a person needs to know their audience. If they over dress for an interview it will give the impression that they are going to demand too much money from the company. On the other hand, by under dressing it gives the appearance that a person doesn’t care and they aren’t going to be an asset to company in the future. By learning about the company a person is interviewing with they are able to adjust the way they act and dress to match those they will be speaking with. For most professional business interviews a male should wear a blue or gray conservative suit and tie. Dress and appearance are first things that interviewers notice about the interviewee, and hopefully they see them as a professional.
