DRESS FOR SUCCESS at a career fair, interview, or on the job

Comments from businesses in the College of Human Development and Education

What is your First Impression?

• Appropriate but would prefer a tie with outfit


• Business casual


• Very nice - Can go anywhere

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

• Appropriate


• Ok, I would add a tie


• Excellent - gives a bit of the 'I'm hip' in that I am ready to adjust quickly to the style and process that is needed

Is this appropriate for an Interview?

• A clear go - better than with the tie and yet a tie can be in the pocket if it appears it is needed
• Would suggest a tie
• Appropriate if second or later interview knowing interviewers are dressed similar


• Ok, I would add a tie
