Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

  • Looks serious about getting interviews

  • Overdressed and might give the impression that you're trying too hard for the interview; Would go more business casual and represent yourself with good conversation/verbal skills
  • Too dressy

Is this appropriate for an Interview?

  • This would be a good outfit if interviewing for a management position, may be overdressed for some of our other positions
  • A must for East coast interviews

  • Very appropriate
