Alright it's time for the job interview and we want you looking good and that is personal appearance. We're going to talk specifically about clothing. Now, why does clothing matter? Well to be honest with you clothing reveals a lot about your personality and your professionalism. And for the interview that is what we want to reflect. Your personality and the utmost professionalism. So the standard rule is conservative. Even if you're applying for a position at a company where they very casually dress, you don't want to do that on the interview because you want to present professionalism. So we're going to be rather conservative. We want to about wearing dark, solid colors. Something that is real important for you to think about. Especially you gals who look for any excuse to buy a new outfit. You don't want to do that. You want to wear something that you've worn before. Something that you are very comfortable in. And it's real important that you avoid or stay away from real extreme, flamboyant styles, super bright colors, anything too ultra trendy. Wait, wait, be conservative.
