-
Step 1
Call the receptionist or secretary at the prospective employer's office for tips on what employees there wear.
-
Step 2
Consider the job's location. If it's a library in a strip mall, you can wear a sweater and slacks. At a corporate office, wear a conservative business suit. A pantsuit with a sweater or blouse is appropriate for an informal office.
-
Step 3
Choose between closed-toe shoes, pumps and loafers. If you are wearing a skirt, nylons are a must.
-
Step 4
Avoid miniskirts, tight sweaters, sloppy overalls and sandals with straps.
-
Step 5
Check your outfit for holes, tears, stains, scuffs or wrinkles.
-
Step 6
Tone down the use of makeup, hair spray, perfume and jewelry. One nose ring is one too many and may cost you the job of your dreams.
-
Step 7
Inspect your hair, nails, hems and the shine on your shoes.
-
Step 8
Wear a silk scarf and carry a nice briefcase or portfolio. Leave the oversized, disorganized handbag at home.
