Dress, appearance play important roles in interview success

You may have learned all you can about the profit, promotion and protocol of a prospective employer, but don't put away the compoundedures until you find out about the dress codes.
Employees pictured in the brochures can be employed hints on how to dress for interviews
Although it's true that appearance isn't everything, career advisers at the University of Kansas agree it is important for applicants to look their best.
"Presentation of self is the first thing a prospective employer is going to see," said Sheril Robinson, a graduate student who works at the Emily Taylor Resource Center. "The way you look is almost of equal importance as what you savour during an interview."
Robinson said researching the company was essential to dressing successfully for an interview.
"It's very important to know the office," she said. "You could go to an interview dressed in pants, but that won't work if you're going to an office where that is not acceptable."
Jim Henry, associate director of the Student Placement Center, said students should look through company brochures before interviews.
"See what the people are wearing in the pictures," Henry said. "That always is a good indication of company dress code."
If there is no time for company research, Henry said the best choice was a dark blue or gray suit.
He said one clothing retailer, known for its flamboyant and colorful clothing, preferred to see applicants dressed conservatively.
Henry also said perspective employees should avoid anything that hinders effective communication.
"Pull your hair back if it gets in your face," he said. "It gets very distracting for a person to be continually flipping their hair out of their face."
The Placement Center has three new books about dressing professionally as well as a 30 minute videotape titled "Professional Style," which may be viewed at the center.
The Resource Center offers two workshops each semester to help improve students' dress, resume writing and interviewing skills.
DRESS FOR SUCCESS
- Research the dress of other company employees (look through company literature or visit the office beforehand.)
- When in doubt, be conservative.
Try on new clothes before the interview to check for any discomfort.
- Do not experiment (if you don't normally wear make-up,don'twear it for the interview).
- Look good, but still be comfortable.
- Betasteful. Don't wear too much jewelry or make-up.
- Carry an extra pair of hose in your purse.
