What is your First Impression?

  • Casual

  • A bit casual - The shirt color might be a bit bright - could be distracting; However, with a dark tie and suit it might work, but the khaki pants are definitely too casual
  • Bright

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

  • Ok for a career fair

  • Could, would, but a bit casual

  • Appropriate

Is this appropriate for an Interview?

  • Casual, should add a sport jacket and a tie

  • Adding dark pants and coat, with a coordinating tie could be acceptable; I would still be careful with the color of shirt
  • Not appropriate - too bright
