Attire for an Interview

Men

• A two-piece suit will suffice in most instances.
• Solid colors and tighter-woven fabrics are safer than bold prints or patterns.
• Bright ties bring focus to the face, but a simple pattern is best for an interview
• Wear polished shoes with socks high enough so no skin is visible when you sit down and cross your legs.

Women

• A suit with a knee-length skirt and tailored blouse is most appropriate.
• Although even the most conservative organizations allow more feminine looks these days, accessories should be kept simple.
• Basic pumps and modest jewelry and makeup help to present a professional look.
• Pants are more acceptable now but are not recommended for interviews unless you are positive that they would be appropriate.
