Rule 1: Research Ahead
Below is an extract from our Interview Guide eBook available at http://www.execstyle.com/eBook/Interview_Dress_Etiquette.pdfRule 1: Research Ahead
Choosing the right interview attire is not alchemy.
It's a matter of knowing the corporate culture and the position's demands.
Check out the website
Many corporate websites will show images of employees in their work
routines. Use this as a clue. Also, review the career section for comments
on interview etiquette.
Go to the source
Visit ahead of time to observe the workers in context. If dress is casual,
be sure that it's not a dress down day such as Casual Friday. If you have
any doubt call HR to ask what is expected. Many companies expect pro-
fessional attire for interviews even though the office dress code is quite
casual.
Consider the type of position you are applying for
Creative positions such as advertising and design may allow for a more
liberal look. Positions involving high-level consultations, or meetings with
important clients may require a classical professional look. If you are un-
sure of what standards to apply, ask a business dress expert:
