Guideline for Women's Interview Attire:

- Select a skirted suit, pantsuit or conservatively tailored dress that draws the eye to your face.

- Skirts are traditionally knee-length but those slightly shorter or longer are also acceptable.

- Select blouses or sweaters that provide visual interest, but avoid transparent, tight fit, or have low necklines, revealing waistlines or details that detract from your face as a focal point. Typically, arms are covered at least to the biceps and often to the wrist.

- Always wear hosiery to interviews. Wear plain-style, non-patterned hosiery and select colors that flatter your coloring. For traditional industries, wear a neutral color. For other industries, you may choose to wear hose that coordinates with your skirt. Carry an extra pair in case of runs.

- Perfume should never be strong. A fragrance can cause an allergic reaction or offend the interviewer. When in doubt, do not wear perfume.

- Use natural-looking makeup and clear nail polish. This keeps the focus on the interview.

- Do not carry a purse with a briefcase. Choose one or the other.

- Wear flat shoes or low pumps in colors that avoid making your feet a focal point. Be sure that they are clean and polished. Avoid shoes that hinder walking fast. This lowers credibility. No open-toe shoes.

- Add accessories to express your personality and accentuate your best features. A scarf or necklace is an effective way to focus on your face.

- Keep it simple!
