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

Comments from businesses in the College of Business

What is your First Impression?
  • The skirt pulled above the knees would draw attention to her legs; Our business dress policy advises against skirts above the knees so this would attract unnecessary attention
  • Professional appearance; Do notice the tattoo though on the foot so recommend a pantsuit
  • Outfit is a bit dated and old for a college student
  • Appropriate
  • Professional, but should have nylons on

  • Dark, textured hose would better enhance this outfit (It appears there is a tattoo on the left foot; that would be distracting)

  • Very professional

  • Professional other than the tattoo on the foot

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

  • Professional appearance
  • Appropriate

  • Professional, but should have nylons on with a skirt

  • More than necessary but nice
  • You can get away with more casual dress than this and still be very effective at the career fair
  • Too dressy for a career fair

Is this appropriate for an Interview?
  • For an interview, the neckline is slightly lower than appropriate; Also, dark hose would be less distracting
  • Professional appearance; Would recommend the pantsuit for the interview to cover the tattoo

  • Would wear a pair of dress pants that compliment the top
  • Appropriate
  • Should have nylons on to look more professional

  • Definitely a good choice

  • Perfect
