How To Dress For Success

Step1

Call the Human Resources office of your potential employer and ask what their dress code is. If you go into the office to pick up an employment application then observe what the employees are wearing. The goal is to dress as if you already fit in with the current personnel.

Step2

Wear solid-colored, conservative suits. Women should wear a coordinating blouse while men should wear a white, long-sleeve shirt and conservative tie.

Step3

Polish your dress shoes. If you wear shoes that are dirty, cracked or dull then you're sending the message that you do not pay attention to detail.

Step4

Make sure you are well groomed. Your hair should be combed and in place, your teeth brushed and you should be free of body odor.

Step5

Keep the jewellery to a minimum. There shouldn't be any visible body piercings other than conservative earrings for women.

Step6

Apply sparse makeup if you wear any at all. Too much makeup will make you appear flashy.
