Dressing For The Job

So, you've submitted your resume, received a follow-up email, and now have an interview scheduled. Congratulations!

Now, how do you present yourself in a way that tells employers you are a professional?

After my time in the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication, I fully understand the importance of presenting yourself as a confident, organized professional.

University of Oregon Professor Kevin Brett provided the following feedback on what it means to dress "business formal"

1. Look clean, organized, and put-together

2. Men - Wear a suite, tie and hard shoes

3. Women - Pants or skirt, respectable heels or flats, a blouse and a blazer - No cleavage, please

I found some wonderful business formal apparal at White House Black Market - They are currently having a sale.
