Interview Attire for Men

• Conservative necktie pattern, end mid-belt. A tie with a conservative pattern is best as it is less distracting than a busier tie.

• Dark shoes (black best)- Wearing black shoes, such as oxfords or derbys, give a professional, polished look to your ensemble. Do not wear loafers as they are too casual.

• Dark socks with matching color belt (black best).

• Short hair preferred.

• Beards and mustaches should be neat and trimmed.

• Only college or wedding rings; do not wear other rings.

• No earrings, take them out if you have them.

Interview Attire for Women

• Knee-length skirts.

• Low-heeled shoes (no high heels or flats). Low heels give a professional look to your interview ensemble. Flats may be considered too casual, while high heels may not be conservative enough.

• Sensible, skin toned hosiery.

• No more than one ring on each hand.

• One set of non-dangle earrings is appropriate. Wearing simple jewelry can add a touch of character to your outfit without overpowering it.

• Minimal makeup.

• Clear or conservative nail polish (though not required).

• Pull long hair back with clasp at neck.

• No purse; instead use briefcase or portfolio.
