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
