Dress for Success

Your appearance sends a powerful message to prospective employers, so dress accordingly. Remember, first impressions are crucial when it comes to job hunting.

Initially, it is better to dress more formally and to pick clothes that are right for you and that our comfortable.

Review the Career Center tips on Business Etiquette: Dress for Success for a breakdown on business attire.

Additionally, if you use:

  • A wheelchair: make sure it is clean and in good repair.


  • An assist dog: be sure he/she is clean and groomed.

  • An Interpreter: Assure that they will arrive appropriately attired for the interview and 5 minutes prior to the interview time.
