Job Interview Dress Code - Dressing for Success
The first impression you make on a potential employer is the most important one. The first evaluation an interviewer makes is going to be based on look and what you are wearing. This is the reason why you should always dress appropriately and look professional for a job interview, regardless if the environment is casual or formal. Always go with a suite and tie rather then chinos or denim.
Ideally you should not be judged by the way you look as much as your qualifications but studies prove that you will be perceived positively based on how your visual appearance. In Psychology the well-studied "Halo Effect" is where attractive individuals were associated with positive traits. How does this effect impact your chances in an interview? Below are some suggestions on proper dress code.
