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

Comments from businesses in the College of Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences

What is your First Impression?

• The body art (tattoo on the left foot) should be concealed; Clothing looks professional
• Visible tattoo should be covered to avoid distraction; Nylons or hose should be worn to any professional event
• Nice outfit


• Professional

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

• Body art is ok, however, a more conservative approach by concealing her tattoo would be beneficial during a career fair


• Would be all right, but would add credit to the individual by adding some type of hosiery


• Too dressy for a career fair


• Ok

Is this appropriate for an Interview?

• The skirt is a little short and may cause more discomfort to the interviewee than the interviewer
• Body art is ok, however, a more conservative approach by concealing her tattoo would be beneficial during an interview
• Appropriate
• Professional
