How to Dress for Success
To help create a good first impression, students usually cannot go wrong by dressing as if they were going to a job interview. However times are changing and business casual is being more and
more accepted in the work place.
A good rule of thumb: if in doubt as to whether it is appropriate-change! Dress for the position you want not the one you already have.
