Interview Etiquette
Dressing
• Dress smartly: don't let your appearance
distract from what you are saying.
• The most important principle is to match your
appearance to the occasion. Your interview
panel has professionals, so you should dress
up with a jacket, suit, or office wear.
• Don’t dress as if you’re headed to a wedding
or a nightclub
