What To Wear for a Job Interview

Do you have a job interview coming up? Not sure what to wear? When you are choosing interview attire the image you present is important, even if you're applying for a part-time job or a temporary position.  

The job seekers I saw on the news the other day wearing ratty hoodies and scruffy jeans at a job fair aren't going to make a good impression.  For every job you apply and/or interview for, it's important that the first impression you make is a great one.

When dressing for an interview for a professional position, dress accordingly in professional business attire. Even if you are interviewing for a job in a more casual environment, a store or restaurant, for example, it's still important to be neat, tidy, and well-groomed, and to present a positive image to the employer.

In addition to wearing appropriate attire to your interview, your accessories matter, too. How you accessorize is important.  Here's more on how to choose interview accessories.
