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

Comments from businesses in the College of Human Development and Education

What is your First Impression?

• Working VERY hard at being professional - be careful that the front is not too low for movement


• Professional and prepared


• Professional, businesslike

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

• Yes, come to the career fair like it is your first day of work


• Excellent choice
• Overdressed


• Not appropriate


• Yes - but a bit overdone

Is this appropriate for an Interview?

• This certainly says, "I am serious about this process and want to work"


• Excellent choice; I would only have one concern and that would be with the neckline...too low??
• Appropriate


• Very appropriate if it is the second interview and the interviewers were dressed to the similar degree; Could be too intimidating otherwise
• Good choice


• Is that a tattoo on the foot? That would cause conversation after she left
