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

Comments from businesses in the College of Business

 

woman in tan suit, tan cami, and brown shoes
What is your First Impression?

  • Professional appearance and appropriate attire for an interview or a career fair
  • Professional and simple, but could use a splash of color to make her appear more dynamic and engaging
  • Appropriate, fits nice & tailored

  • Looks nice, appropriate

  • Business casual

  • Pleasant, professional - Light color tone is upbeat; Sets a good initial impression
  • Nice monochromatic outfit; Pants appear a little too tight, and shoes a little too casual

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

  • The lighter suit is a nice change from the typical black that everyone wears; Still appropriate and professional looking

  • Professional and simple, but could use a splash of color to make her appear more dynamic and engaging
  • Appropriate, would appear interested in position

  • No - should be a little more professional for a career fair

  • Ready to start work

  • Very appropriate for career fair; Better dressed than many students we see

Is this appropriate for an Interview?
  • Appropriate and professional looking
  • Professional and simple, but a splash of color would make it more appealing
  • Appropriate for interview (on-campus or in-office)

  • Again, a little more professional for an interview; Slightly higher heel would be better
  • No problems with this outfit for an interview
  • A higher heel would be more appropriate; The outfit appears a little too dressy for the shoe
