How to blow that all important job interview #3

Dress inappropriately. Now that you know everything about the dream company you are interviewing with,  (Do your homework, tip #2) you SHOULD know how to dress for your interview. While dress on a daily basis may be fairly casual, you ALWAYS should take your interview outfit to the next level.

Now, at Apple jeans and t-shirts are the norm. DON’T show up in jeans and a t-shirt unless you have inside intel that truly makes this OK. Go trendy, but conservative, with a little flair. If you are interviewing with a medical device or pharmaceutical company, you better show up in a suit, or business dress, gals. Blazer. Shoes shined.

Consider your industry – consider your role. Are you a sales rep? You are the face of your company – pull out all the stops. If you are interviewing for an engineering role – well engineers tend to be a tad more conservative and practical. If you are interviewing for a marketing role, you had better dress like your boss. No matter what, pay careful attention to your tidiness and personal hygiene. Believe it or not, if it comes down to you and the other guy – both equally qualified – your appearance WILL tip the balance. Need more help? Here you go: On-site interview tips
