interview attire.

difference how you dress for
an interview? In many cases, it
does. If you’re in doubt about
how to dress for an interview,
it’s best to err on the side of
conservatism. It is much
better to be overdressed than
underdressed.
If you’re not sure, check
with the person who
scheduled the interview and
ask.

Dynamics, 55% of another person’s
perception is based on how you
look.
