How you present yourself during an interview can have just as much impact on your success as the achievements on your resume, and showing up dressed inappropriately is an easy way to get off on the wrong foot.
In today’s more casual and creative business world, a traditional suit and tie or high-heels and a skirt may no longer be the standard interview uniform for every industry. But according to bestselling management author and CNBC contributor Suzy Welch, that doesn’t mean you can take a relaxed approach to your interview wardrobe.
“The burden is on you to pick appropriate attire for wherever your job search takes you,” she tells CNBC Make It. “Don’t worry — the workplaces of today may be less strict about attire, but there are still guidelines.”
Welch offers these four rules for dressing for interview success:
1. Do your homework
Before going on an interview, Welch recommends getting a clear idea of the environment you’ll be walking into, and that includes the attire of its current employees. She suggests asking someone you know about the dress code at the company or doing a Google image search for pictures of what professionals wear at that organization or in that industry.
“I know a Stanford grad who sat in the parking lot the day before his interview at a Seattle startup to check out what the employees were wearing,” she says. “He really wanted the job — and he got it.”
2. Don’t worry about being overdressed
After you’ve done your research on a company’s dress code, Welch says it’s time to take it up a notch. First impressions are powerful, and your interviewers will likely expect you to be dressed a bit more formally than usual for your first meeting with an employer.
