Dressing Sense for Interview

There are a few simple rules of thumb that you need to keep in mind when ever it comes to selecting the right clothes for that all important job interview that you have been waiting to get.
Since you have so much riding on the first impression that you present to a prospective employer, the question of what to wear takes on a much greater significance than usual in a job interview.

When it comes time to pick a suit for the interview, there is a rule that should be followed, which is to think conservative. A traditional dark blue or a dark gray suit with pin stripes is a great way to present an air of confidence and aptitude, without straying at all from the bounds of good taste. For upper level and middle level executive positions, an accompany vest may very well be in order. Also, when picking a suit, you should consider the image that you wish to present.

When it comes time to pick out a shirt, the rule is that you can not go wrong with white. This is especially true if you are unsure about the personality of the person with whom you will be interviewing, as most job candidates usually are. A white shirt will make sure you look properly business like, without being or feeling over dressed. If you feel you know your prospective employer well enough that it would be completely appropriate for you to wear a shirt of light blue or off white or even a shade of light green or pink, then you can certainly do so. Just keep in mind that you should stick with solid colors.

Finally, the tie that you choose will help cement your image in the mind of the interviewer. The rule of thumb with ties is simply no cartoons. Hopefully, you have already have a good selection of ties and among that collection a variety of ties that would be much more appropriate for a job interview. Also, unless your interview is in the fashion industry or the music industry, then you will want to select a tie in a conservative color with a traditional pattern. And it is usually best to stay away from ties that are decorated with your favorite logo.
