One of the most frequently asked questions is, “What should I wear to the job interview?” The best answer to this question is to make sure that the way you are dressed is unnoticeable. Your dress and appearance should not be a factor in the mind of the interviewer.
A good rule of thumb is, “when in doubt, always be conservative”. My suggestion is that no matter what level of job you are seeking, men should always wear a suit and women should always wear a skirted suit and blouse with jacket. You should always be sure that your suits are clean, pressed and that they fit well.
If you feel that wearing a suit is being too over-dressed for the job you are seeking, then men wear dress slacks and a dress shirt (I still recommend a tie) and women wear a dress suit with slacks.
You should stay with dark colors. Men should tend towards charcoal, gray, navy blue or black. Women should wear a suit that is dark with a blouse that contrasts with the skirt and jacket.
When selecting a shirt, let cotton be your guide. A fresh cotton look is what you are attempting to achieve. A blend of polyester and cotton will tend to wrinkle less after hours of wear. In those cases, they look better than cotton. You should avoid any shirt that appears shiny or has a “see through” effect.
Again, I believe that men should always wear a tie. It is the symbol of respectability and responsibility.
