Appearances Count! Dress To Impress – Professional Attire
When polling college recruiters, 40% cited image as the reason they reject qualified candidates. Proper dress/appearance may not be a reason for getting a job – however, improper dress/appearance is the most common reason candidates do not get a job. The job seeker should dress for a position higher than the one he/she is being interviewed for. When in doubt, conservative clothing choice for your interview or job fair meeting is usually the safest.
