Comments from businesses in theCollege
of Engineering and Architecture |
- Professional, confident impression; This person really cares about making a good first impression
- Appears to have a tattoo on the foot; Companies are not against tattoos but exposing them in an interview process is taboo - Too personal; Lacking jewelry, looking for a person that pays attention to details and finishes a project
- Looks professional and is taking the job search seriously; Maybe not the best for engineering, though
- Nice look, tattoo draws a lot of attention
- Well-dressed, probably interviewing that day; Too dressy for everyday, but undoubtedly has plans for an important meeting that day
- Visible tattoo is never good in an office setting; Suit coat is too long - Pinstripe looks nice on her
- Skirt too short
- Appropriate; The outfit looks professional, well put-together & thought out
Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?
- Looks professional, but the outfit is not suited for an engineering job search
- Would assume that she has interviews that same day; Wouldn't be concerned about overdressed, but in reality, she would be for the career fair
- More formal than necessary for such an event, though no one is going to be turned off by someone who dresses this nicely - especially when interaction is short and first impressions are important
- A little formal for career fair
- Nice look; Consider covering up the tattoo on her foot - Lots of people have them, of course, but you don't want to be remembered for your tattoo at a career fair
- Higher neckline would make this outfit more appropriate for a career fair
- Appropriate; The outfit looks professional, well put-together & thought out
- Borderline too dressy; I don't expect the kids to have to walk around in a skirt and heels
Is this appropriate for an Interview?
- Not completely acceptable for an engineering position; Pant suits with shoes that could be worn on a manufacturing floor would be better
- Excellent choice; It says that you are professional, serious about your work, and ready to go out and meet with clients!
- Suit very appropriate; Good rule of thumb on skirts is no shorter than a dollar bill width above the knee
- Always wear nylons to a professional level interview
- Would be appropriate for interview
- I always encourage pant suits for women; You can't be too conservative in a job interview - Acceptable, though!
- Well-dressed for an important meeting like an interview!
- Appropriate (depending on the position interviewing for); The outfit looks professional, well put-together & thought out
