Appropriate attire for job interviews

Think about what you wore to your last job interview. How did that reflect on you? Did you wear a suit or shorts? What type of job were you applying for? These are all important questions to ask.

You want to present the best you possible. I always slightly overdress for job interviews. Think of what the appropriate attire for the job will be and go up one notch in formality. For example, if you are applying for a job where the dress code requires a polo shirt and slacks, coming to the interview in a fancy suit may be a little too much. I would keep the slacks, but add a long-sleeved button-up shirt and tie. You need to look the part.

Here is an article that has some basic rules about what to wear and what not to wear.
