"Dress to impress!" What does that mean? Let's start with what it doesn't mean: wrinkled clothing, trendy outfits more appropriate for a Friday night out than for meeting employers (think too much skin showing as in low cut tops or short shorts or skirts--or too tight to be comfortable items), the distressed look, t-shirts, workout clothes, flip flops, any kind of smell other than bath soap.
Show me a job seeker in a well pressed business suit and shirt, dark socks (neutral color hoisery for women), polished and shined dress shoes--I get so excited I want to capture the moment with a photo for our website. Say cheese!
Business style trousers or khakis, a dress shirt and tie for men; dress shirt or blouse for women along with trousers or a skirt no shorter than knee length--that's almost as good. Nice trousers or khakis and a polo style shirt also works.
Bottom line -- you want to impress employers . . .in a positive way. That might take some effort. Good things do.
