Dressing for Your Interview
Deciding what to wear for you big interview can be a nerve-racking experience, as there are rarely clear cut rules when it comes to corporate clothing. Firstly do some research on your prospective employee, and take a look at the company’s web sites and brochures.
This will give you an idea of the company’s image, and whether or not they are casual, formal or smart casual. Based on this you can decide what to wear. It is important to not be too casual, as this will create the impression that you are not serious, or to not be too formal, wearing a business suite to an interview at a very informal company will also create the wrong impression.
