Forbes Magazine Provides Eight Tips on How to Dress for an Intervie

According to Forbes Magazine, interview attire has changed in recent years.  The dot-com era ushered in an era of casual dress, but the recent recession has reversed the trend and ushered in an era of formal dress as candidates strive to differentiate themselves in an increasingly competitive job market.  Furthermore, interview attire is now seen as a test of the candidate’s familiarity of the company and industry.  The article offers few great tips on how to dress for your next interview: (1) appropriate attire depends on the industry and geographic location, (2) research the company and industry on the internet before the interview, (3) when in doubt, err on the side of caution and slightly overdress (you can then laugh it off during the interview, and point out that you overdressed as you are very enthusiastic about the opportunity….).  And remember “Perception is reality”.    Manage it. Own it. And win!
