What is your interview attire saying about you?

What is your interview attire saying about you? Small changes can make a big difference.

The most important part of your wardrobe is that it is not distracting to the interviewer. They should be able to focus on your amazing answers to their questions, not on the clothes you chose to wear to the job interview. So don't give them a good excuse to be distracted!

What's the appropriate dress code for an interview? You'll want that first impression to be not just a good one, but, a great one. In general, the candidate dressed in a suit and tie is going to make a much better impression than the candidate dressed in scruffy jeans and a t-shirt.

First impressions are everything, and at a job interview with other applicants, sometimes they're all you have.

A good first impression can set you apart from the crowd, while a bad impression can send your CV straight into the trash can.

Next step for your job search

Pick one guide and keep momentum.
