One sure-fire way to miss out on a job is to show up at an interview dressed poorly. If you do this, the hiring manager will have a bad first impression of you, and you will probably have a very difficult time overcoming it.

One sure-fire way to miss out on a job is to show up at an interview dressed poorly.

If you do this, the hiring manager will have a bad first impression of you, and you will probably have a very difficult time overcoming it.

Showing up underdressed or with too many accessories on can put you in a bad light from the get-go.

It is important to remember that, regardless of what kind of position you are applying for, you need to dress professionally.

First off we will review some tips for women.

1. Remember to wear a conservative suit that is a solid color.

You may also want to consider wearing a common color such as black, brown, or dark blue. These colors will not make you stand out or draw attention. Avoid wearing bright colors such as pink or orange.

2. Choose shoes that accommodate you well.

If you are a bit short and would like to gain a couple of inches, feel free to wear high
heels. If you are self-conscious about your height, wear something that has a flat sole. Remember to never wear sandals or tennis shoes.

3. Keep jewelry and accessories to a limit.

There is no need to wear four bracelets and five earrings. Show your professionalism
by wearing a couple (one or two) classy accessories.

4. Do not overdo it on the makeup.

Give your face a nice, natural look that people will enjoy looking at.

5. Bring a portfolio or briefcase with you that will contain anything that you may need.

This will include work samples, extra resumes, and additional references.

Now for the men.

1. Just like the women, wear a solid color, conservative suit.

Black, dark blue, brown, and gray are your best choices.

2. Regardless of recent trends, you will want to wear a long-sleeve white dress shirt.

More and more people are going with colored shirts, but for an interview you will want to stay basic.

3. Keep your tie simple as well.

If you are wearing a black suit with a white shirt, consider going with a solid black tie. If you want something to spruce up your outfit, look into a brighter color tie.

4. Many guys overlook their socks and shoes.

Remember to wear socks that match your suit and shoes that are professional.
