DRESS FOR SUCCESS at a career fair, interview, or on the job

Comments from businesses in the College of Science and Mathematics

What is your First Impression?

• Wow - she is ready to work; Very committed to her agency/company and plans on using her education/training, skills and talents to advance the agency/company
• I don't think she wears this every day; Why are you showing off your tattoo?


• The skirt pulled above the knees would draw attention to her legs; Our business dress policy advises against skirts above the knees as this would attract unnecessary attention

Is this appropriate for a Career Fair?

• The length of the skirt appears that she would have trouble sitting in an interview setting to be very comfortable
• You can get away with more casual dress than this and still be very effective at the career fair
• Too dressy

Is this appropriate for an Interview?

• In an interview you want someone to be comfortable and not worrying about the hemline; This is a nice outfit otherwise


• Would wear a pair of dress pants that compliment the top


• Excellent choice!
